According to http://juliusdavies.ca/posix_clocks/clock_realtime_linux_faq.html, 
CLOCK_REALTIME can go backwards. CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is best where available 
(like QueryPerformanceFrequency / mach_absolute_time) and CLOCK_MONOTONIC is 
pretty good.

So I have updated both the docs for time.monotonic and time.wallclock to 
hopefully better explain things... may need to be another issue here too.
