rts/OSThreads: Fix reference clock of timedWaitCondition
Previously `timedWaitCondition` assumed that timeouts were referenced against `CLOCK_MONOTONIC`. This is wrong; by default `pthread_cond_timedwait` references against `CLOCK_REALTIME`, although this can be overridden using `pthread_condattr_setclock`. Fix this and add support for using `CLOCK_MONOTONIC` whenever possible as it is more robust against system time changes and is likely cheaper to query. Unfortunately, this is complicated by the fact that older versions of Darwin did not provide `clock_gettime`, which means we also need to introduce a fallback path using `gettimeofday`. Fixes #20144.
