Merge #17738: build: remove linking librt for backwards compatibility

f7453dc build: remove linking librt for backwards compatibility (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Now that we require glibc 2.17+, see #17538, we can remove linking librt
  for backwards compatibility purposes. The `clock_*` functions from librt
  were merged into glibc as part of the [2.17 release](https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2012/msg00001.html):

  * The `clock_*` suite of functions (declared in <time.h>) is now available
    directly in the main C library.  Previously it was necessary to link with
    -lrt to use these functions.  This change has the effect that a
    single-threaded program that uses a function such as `clock_gettime' (and
    is not linked with -lrt) will no longer implicitly load the pthreads
    library at runtime and so will not suffer the overheads associated with
    multi-thread support in other code such as the C++ runtime library.

  Note that `librt` is already unused by the RISC-V and AARCH64 binaries as their librts don't export any `clock_*` functions. As an example, you can find a diff of the arm32 vs arm64 librt symbols [here](https://gist.github.com/fanquake/b08cb1f0d14df3133395d7796ebf030c).

  Below is the library usage for the `v0.19.0.1` release (can delete these tables pre-merge).
