ecore: detect and emit event on system time changed.

If we have timerfd then we can set a timer with special features
(ABSTIME | CANCELON) to be notified if its offset to monotonic time
change, effectively this will alert us if user called settimeofday()
or similar method to change system time.

This code was inspired by Enlightenment's clock module.
