add caml_get_wall_clock -- similar to caml_get_monotonic_time#31
Merged
Conversation
The motivation is to avoid lots of conversions in mirage-clock just to retrieve the current wall clock time. This is one part to solve mirage/mirage-clock#23 The unix_gettimeofday is still useful for the OCaml runtime system - which uses it to initialize its RNG (the alternative is it being initialized with 0s which is obviously worse) - that's why that symbol is kept as well.
This prepares the integration of OCaml-CI which executes the above for linting.

CHANGES: * Fix OCaml documentation strings (mirage/mirage-xen#30 @hannesm) * Add caml_get_wall_clock to retrieve the wall clock as int64 (mirage/mirage-xen#31 @hannesm) * Don't require opam for the bindings compilation (mirage/mirage-xen#32 @sternenseemann) * Remove checksum_stubs and alloc_pages_stubs (available in mirage-tcpip and io-page), to keep in sync with mirage-solo5 (mirage/mirage-xen#33 @dinosaure, adapted by @hannesm to mirage-xen)
