[PATCH v2] timens: show clock symbolic names in /proc/pid/timens_offsets

[Andrei Vagin]

Michael Kerrisk suggested to replace numeric clock IDs on symbolic
names.

Now the content of these files looks like this:
$ cat /proc/774/timens_offsets
monotonic      864000         0
boottime      1728000         0

For setting offsets, both representations of clocks can be used.

As for compatibility, it is acceptable to change things as long as
userspace doesn't care. The format of timens_offsets files is very
new and there are no userspace tools that rely on this format.

But three projects crun, util-linux and criu rely on the interface of
setting time offsets and this is why we need to continue supporting the
clock IDs in this case.
