maint: remove fstimeprec (variable precision time stamp) support

The implementation of variable-precision time stamps relied on heuristics that made the output subtly nondeterministic, or at least hard to reproduce: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/21531/focus=21538 So, for now at least, we're removing that feature. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Remove fstimeprec. * gl/lib/fstimeprec.c, gl/lib/fstimeprec.h: Remove files. * gl/modules/fstimeprec, gl/modules/fstimeprec-tests: Likewise. * gl/tests/test-fstimeprec.c: Remove file.
