Samba build error: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

[Andrew Bartlett]

https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/time.html#time.clock

Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 3.8: The
behaviour of this function depends on the platform: use
perf_counter() or process_time() instead, depending on your
requirements, to have a well defined behaviour.

Python hasn't learnt the lesson from their previous removals (which
thankfully were caught pre-release) it seems. 

See https://bugs.python.org/issue37330 for another example.
