Remove loop_length featureswip-no-loop-length

A large amount of code was devoted to computing the duration of one
complete run of the spin loop, and related auxiliary featues. This code
was (essentially) obsoleted when we started using the POSIX
clock_gettime() function to control how long spinning occurs. This patch
removes this obsolete code.
