rtems_task_wake_after takes a parameter in terms of a count of clock
ticks and not a measure in a subunit of seconds. This updates
documentation to reflect that and recommends clock_nanosleep() for
applications requiring sleep for a time-based duration instead of a
count of clock ticks.

Updates #4772
