[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-ust] Fix: Don't wait during registration if clock_gettime() fails

[Jérémie Galarneau]

get_constructor_timeout() currently returns -1 which, according to
the lttng-ust(3) man page and lttng_ust_init() implementation,
"waits forever".

This changes the behavior to match what is expressed in the comments.

Comments in get_constructor_timeout() and get_timeout() are also
modified to match the following convention:

-1: wait forever
0: don't wait
1: wait for "constructor_delay_ms"
