timer-linux: fallback to CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of timespec_get

CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is linux-specific (macOS later supported it but it
has its own timer code) and not neccessarily available everywhere like
on BSDs. It makes sense to prefer it because mpv does a lot of
measurements at small intervals (e.g. every frame) so theoretically it
should be more accurate. However if the OS doesn't have it, fallback to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead which is almost exactly the same and very widely
supported across unix-like systems. This clock is technically optional
according to POSIX, but any half-decent OS supports it anyway (sorry
Solaris users). As a benefit, we now know that the clock from mp_time is
always monotonic.
