[macOS/Macports] Build error: unknown type name 'clockid_t'; did you mean 'clock_id_t'?

[Sergey Fedorov]

We have now build failure for zmq on 10.11 and below:

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_bblocal_var_buildworker_ports_build_ports_devel_zmq/zmq-devel/work/libzmq-8c725093ac4b44a97e6cb64566989ef12b71986c/src/clock.cpp

                ^

Both zmq 4.3.4 and devel build fail likewise.

The following patch fixes the build (and does not affect the build on newer macOS):

Is it the correct solution, or what would you suggest instead?
