[issue36205] Python 3.7 and 3.8 process_time is not reported correctly when built on older macOS versions

Using CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID clock for time.process_time() looks good to me. I don't know why depending on how Python is built, you get a different clock.

> process_time: namespace(adjustable=False, implementation='getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF)', monotonic=True, resolution=1e-06)

It should be the same clock than CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID, maybe with a different resolution.

If both are available, we should prefer the clock with the best *effective* resolution.
