[issue31803] time.clock() should emit a DeprecationWarning

I would like to add my voice to MAL's objections.  I was not aware of time.clock() depreciation before Victor brought this issue to my attention.  time.clock() is a very well-known API eponymous to a venerable UNIX system call.  Its limitations and platform dependencies are very well-known as well.  For someone new to python, seeing time.clock() would probably not require a trip to the library reference, but seeing time.perf_counter() is likely to cause a WTF reaction even from an experienced python developer.
