Add time() vdso support to match up with existing support in the x86's vdso. Currently benefitting arm and arm64 which uses the common vgettimeofday.c implementation. On arm provides about a ~14 fold improvement in speed over the straight syscall, and about a ~5 fold improvement in speed over an alternate library implementation that relies on the vdso call to gettimeofday to fulfill the request. We can provide __vdso_time even if we can not provide a speed enhanced __vdso_gettimeofday (arm, virtual counters).
