Without this change, a typical configure check looking for a
library that contains (say) clock_gettime will find and link
against librt, even though nothing in the program might actually
require librt after the move of clock_gettime from librt to libc.

Tested on x86-64, with and without --disable-multi-arch.

	* rt/clock-compat.c (COMPAT_REDIRECT): Turn librt forwarders into
	compatibility symbols.

I reviewed the original thread from 2012 for this:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00475.html

There was no indication that we intended to keep the symbols in
librt forever, and making them compatibility symbols means that
programs with similar requirements to libstdc++ that want
clock_gettime without libpthread, can also do so more easily.

Therefore this change looks good to me, but this is a a publicly
visible change that needs a bug #, and a NEWS entry. We are officially
deprecating the API out of librt with this change.

OK for master with bug # and NEWS entry.
