Patch "Do not use HP_TIMING_NOW for random bits (359653aaacad4)" fixed
mostly of the __gen_tempname issues described by BZ#15813. This patch
fixes the remaining one by adding a extra call to random_bits for
eac iteration while trying to create the random name.

The patch also cleanups the tempname implementation since now it
deviates from gnulib counterpart.

Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

	[BZ #15813]
	* sysdeps/posix/tempname.c: Remove ununsed includes, redundant
	definitions, and defines used only for gnulib.
	(__gen_tempname): Set number of attemps to TMP_MAX and use
	random_bits on eachh iteration.

Shouldn't we strive to keep them in sync? Does the Gnulib version need
the fix you're proposing for the glibc version?

I am not sure if gnulib is willing to add the random_bits implementation
based on clock_gettime, this patch is following Wilco idea to remove the
fallback gettimeofday and related code. Checking on gnulib code it seems
it already have a timespec module, so one can assume clock_gettime is
always supported (even if it calls gettimeofday in the end). I don't mind
sending a second version if gnulib adds the fix.

For easier review (and maintenance) I would like this patch to be split
in 2 or more patches. At least: one for removing gnulib support, and
one to improve randomness for each retry.

Regards.
