(CLOCK_REALTIME case) system calls is non negative.
This commit hides a kernel panic in atrtc_settime() as the clock_ts_to_ct()
does not properly convert negative tv_sec.
ps. in my opinion clock_ts_to_ct() should be rewritten to properly handle
negative tv_sec values.

Depending on system configuration and parameters, clock_gettime() and
gettimeofday() may not be system calls. If so, passing an invalid pointer
will cause a signal and not an [EFAULT] error.
From a standards perspective, this is OK since passing an invalid pointer is
undefined behaviour.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.
the page myself. The new language is more accurate than what was there
before, but the most accurate way of describing the funcionality eludes
me.

Use the correct .Bx (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.
