Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] rust: time: Make Instant generic over ClockSource

Refactor the Instant type to be generic over a ClockSource type
parameter, enabling static enforcement of clock correctness across
APIs that deal with time. Previously, the clock source was implicitly
fixed (typically CLOCK_MONOTONIC), and developers had to ensure
compatibility manually.

This design eliminates runtime mismatches between clock sources, and
enables stronger type-level guarantees throughout the timer subsystem.
