Unconditionally, on all ports, use clock_settime to implement stime,
not settimeofday or a direct syscall.

Note that the former stub implementation of stime would return -1 with
errno set to EINVAL if passed a null pointer.  With this change, it
instead unconditionally dereferences the pointer, so any hypothetical
callers that passed NULL will now segfault.  I don’t think this will break
any non-contrived programs.

	* time/stime.c (stime): No longer a stub implementation.
	Call __clock_settime.

	* sysdeps/unix/stime.c: Delete file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list: Remove entry for stime.

	* include/time.h: Add libc_hidden_proto for __clock_settime.
	* rt/clock_settime.c, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c:
	Add libc_hidden_def for __clock_settime.

I agree that using a null point does not make sense, so I would also recommend
to use __nonnull ((1)) on function prototype as well.

LGTM.

Good point, but I'm not going to make this change because instead I'm
going to add a patch to the series that demotes stime to a compatibility
symbol, so its public prototype will be removed.
