x86/vdso: Introduce and use vgtod_ts



It's desired to support more clocks in the VDSO, e.g. CLOCK_TAI. This
results either in indirect calls due to the larger switch case, which then
requires retpolines or when the compiler is forced to avoid jump tables it
results in even more conditionals.

To avoid both variants which are bad for performance the high resolution
functions and the coarse grained functions will be collapsed into one for
each. That requires to store the clock specific base time in an array.

Introcude struct vgtod_ts for storage and convert the data store, the
update function and the individual clock functions over to use it.

The new storage does not longer use gtod_long_t for seconds depending on 32
or 64 bit compile because this needs to be the full 64bit value even for
32bit when a Y2038 function is added. No point in keeping the distinction
alive in the internal representation.
