time: implement nanosecond precision with zero memory overhead

Replace microsecond storage with nanosecond storage in struct mrb_time
while maintaining full backward compatibility and zero memory increase.

Changes:
- Replace 'usec' field with 'nsec' field in struct mrb_time
- Preserve full nanosecond precision from timespec_get/clock_gettime
- Add Time#nsec and Time#tv_nsec methods for Ruby spec compliance
- Update Time#usec to compute microseconds from nanoseconds
- Convert all arithmetic operations to handle nanosecond precision
- Add comprehensive tests for nanosecond functionality

Platform support:
- Modern systems: True nanosecond precision via timespec_get/clock_gettime
- Older systems: Microsecond precision converted to nanoseconds (gettimeofday)
- Minimal systems: Second precision with synthetic microseconds (time)

Benefits:
- Zero memory overhead (struct remains 80 bytes)
- 100% backward compatible (all existing tests pass)
- Better precision for time arithmetic and comparisons
- Ruby API compliant with standard nanosecond methods
- Automatic precision upgrade on capable systems
