In Botan, the Timer base class provides access to a high-resolution

timer with an unspecified update rate and epoch. It is only used
inside the entropy sources to provide some timing-dependent
randomness. However, it is easier and basically 'as good' to treat the
timers as entropy sources in their own right and feed their output
directly into an entropy pool.

This commit removes Library_State::system_clock and all calls to that
function.
