[PATCH 1/1] Fix and extend error message in posix timer test

_Timespec_Equal_to() does not set errno, hence avoid using perror(),
instead use fprintf() to stderr, and extend the error message to provide
information about what the error is (measured timer value after
re-arming is not equal to the configured interval), and how large of a
difference was measured.
