This breaks client tests on avery old kernel (2.6.32, RHEL 6).

This reverts commit 119e828dbe.
According to the D-Bus API specification we return CLOCK_BOOTTIME only.
We don't support kernels too old to have it -- the fall back to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is only there to be able to run unit tests on RHEL 6
kernel and will eventually go away.
We need common operations from the python scripts.
For example, to print the boot-time.
Move such utils to a separate nmex.py file ("ex" for
example). This file should contain helper functions that
are pure python (or, if the have requirements, load them
only on demand, so that examples that need those have
additional dependencies). It should also be simple to extract
individual helpers from nmex, so that the user can take an
example, merge parts of nmex.py in, and modify it to his needs.
