Use nanosleep instead of pthread_cond_timedwait for thread sleeping

There's a comment saying nanosleep's availability is questionable, but
the information of what systems don't have that is now lost in
time. It's quite likely that they were older, Unix systems we no
longer support anyway.

nanosleep comes from POSIX.1b-1993, which is merged into POSIX.1-2001,
so chances are that it's supported almost everywhere where Qt runs
(except for Windows anyway).
