sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) [NetBSD: basesrc/lib/libc/gen]

Hello all,

Does the following change look like a nice thing to make to our libc
too?  I'm asking before trying to make a diff that does this, because
the log mentions that the standards do not require this to return the
value of HZ, and it's probably improper if programs depend on this
being == HZ.

	Modified Files:
		basesrc/lib/libc/gen: sysconf.c

	Log Message:
	make sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) return the kernel hz value, instead of a
	fixed constant, as is done on Solaris, Linux, etc.

	Technically, standards don't *require* this, but having it return a
	constant is a violation of the spirit, and screws up programs that
	(perhaps improperly) assume that it will return kernel hz.
