posix-timers: Handle relative posix-timers correctly 

The recent rework of the posix timer internals broke the magic posix
mechanism, which requires that relative timers are not affected by
modifications of the underlying clock. That means relative CLOCK_REALTIME
timers cannot use CLOCK_REALTIME, because that can be set and adjusted. The
underlying hrtimer switches the clock for these timers to CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

That still works, but reading the remaining time of such a timer has been
broken in the rework. The old code used the hrtimer internals directly and
avoided the posix clock callbacks. Now common_timer_get() uses the
underlying kclock->timer_get() callback, which is still CLOCK_REALTIME
based. So the remaining time of such a timer is calculated against the
wrong time base.

Handle it by switching the k_itimer->kclock pointer according to the
resulting hrtimer mode. k_itimer->it_clock still contains CLOCK_REALTIME
because the timer might be set with ABSTIME later and then it needs to
switch back to the realtime posix clock implementation.
