implement settimeofday in terms of clock_settime, not old syscall

this is yet another place where special handling of time syscalls can
and should be avoided by implementing legacy functions in terms of
their modern replacements. in theory a fallback to SYS_settimeofday
could be added to clock_settime, but SYS_clock_settime has been
available since Linux 2.6.0 or earlier, i.e. all the way back to the
minimum supported version.
