The first field of /proc/uptime relies on the CLOCK_BOOTTIME clock which
can also be fetched from clock_gettime() API.
Improve the test coverage while verifying the monotonicity of
CLOCK_BOOTTIME accross both interfaces.

Due to broken iowait task counting design (cf: comments above
get_cpu_idle_time_us() and nr_iowait()), it is not possible to provide
the guarantee that /proc/stat or /proc/uptime display monotonic idle
time values.
Remove the assertions that verify the related wrong assumption so that
testers and maintainers don't spend more time on that.

The only tests I could come up with for /proc/uptime are:
- test that values increase monotonically for 1 second,
- bounce around CPUs and test the same thing.
Avoid glibc like plague for affinity given patches like this:
