[Bug 2072766] [NEW] glibc: drop the nanosleep fallback delta

Public bug reported:

We have shipped a patch for glibc since groovy that adds a fallback path
for clock_nanosleep_time64 to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC, to work around a bug
in WSL1 (see bug 1871240). This has since been fixed in the WSL1
implementation (WSL2 is out of scope as they use a full-blown Linux
kernel).

A glibc version without that patch has been tested by @cnihelton on
modern WSL1 without encountering the original issues, let's drop it
moving forward.

** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
