futex: Provide FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 to support clock selection

The FUTEX_LOCK_PI futex operand uses a CLOCK_REALTIME based absolute
timeout since it was implemented, but it does not require that the
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag is set, because that was introduced later.

In theory as none of the user space implementations can set the
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag on this operand, it would be possible to
creatively abuse it and make the meaning invers, i.e. select CLOCK_REALTIME
when not set and CLOCK_MONOTONIC when set. But that's a nasty hackery.

Another option would be to have a new FUTEX_CLOCK_MONOTONIC flag only for
FUTEX_LOCK_PI, but that's also awkward because it does not allow libraries
to handle the timeout clock selection consistently.

So provide a new FUTEX_LOCK_PI2 operand which implements the timeout
semantics which the other operands use and leave FUTEX_LOCK_PI alone.
