[RFC PATCH 2/2] selftests/timers: Improve skew_consistency by testing with other clockids

[John Stultz]

Lei Chen reported a bug with CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE having
inconsistencies when NTP is adjusting the clock frequency.

This has gone seemingly undetected for ~15 years, illustrating a
clear gap in our testing.

The skew_consistency test is intended to catch this sort of
problem, but was focused on only evaluating CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and
thus missed the problem on CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.

So adjust the test to run with all clockids for 60 seconds each
instead of 10 minutes with just CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
