Feature request: System time change notification

[fhalde]

Will it be great to have a feature wherein our node apps can detect change in system time? I recently came across a time_change_notify system call, but it doesn't seem to be available in all linux kernels.

To get into libuv it would likely have to be supported in some fashion on all platforms that we support, including Windows.

@cjihrig makes sense! I don't think such feature is adopted in other os's

I don't even think its adopted by linux, its just a proposal at this point, near as I can tell.

Actually, Linux was the more difficult platform, Linux and Windows have APIs available, while Linux requires some workarrounds like file watchers or optional packages to be installed like systemd/dbus.
