[Patch]: frameworkd, otimed subsystem.

[Guillaume Chereau]

Hello,

We are going to remove the otimed service from the framework anyway :)
During today's meeting with Mickey, Daniel and Jan, it has been decided
that we don't need the time service after all.

The time subsystem was mostly here because I though it could be useful
to test the events subsystem. But in fact it doesn't make so much sense
(at least for the moment.)

So yes please, use the native API for time functions. Sudharshan thanks
for the patch anyway. Sorry we are probably not going to use it.
