1. runInLinuxVM: remove hwclock -s invocation …

   Commit 97ed6b4 broke the systemd-boot
   tests (among others) because of the `hwclock -s` invocation. This was
   broken for a while, but not noticed because we didn't have a `set -e`
   before.
   
   The error
   
       hwclock: select() to /dev/rtc0 to wait for clock tick timed out
   
   MAY be related to an open QEMU bug[1]: I can't reproduce the error on
   aarch64-linux and x86_64-linux with `partitionTableType = "legacy";`.
   Also, the issue disappears on x86_64-linux when adding `--directisa`.
   
   However, the invocation was added in f73ff05
   10 years ago which didn't give any reasoning or pointer to what KVM bug
   this may be. Given that this must have happened on an ancient version,
   we agreed on removing it altogether[2].
