Makefile: add NEEDS_LIBRT to optionally link with librt

Browse Source 
We unconditionally link with librt, when HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME is defined.
But clock_gettime() has been available in most libc implementations for
some time now (e.g., for glibc since version 2.17) and no longer
requires linking with librt. Furthermore, commit a6c3c63 (configure.ac:
check for clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC) will automatically
determined which library (libc or librt) is required for linking when
checking for clock_gettime().

The assumption to unconditionally link with librt was OK, since either
almost every Unix-like system provides a version of librt for backwards
compatibility or other systems, namely Windows or OS X, never provided
clock_gettime(). However, in the latest release of OS X (macOS Sierra),
this function has been added to OS X libc version. As a result, when
running the configuration script, HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME is set and since
librt is not present, it causes a linker error.

This patches requires those not building via the configuration scripts
to define NEEDS_LIBRT in addition to HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME, if needed.
