@brief
    Converts the clock value \bt_p{cycles} from cycles to nanoseconds
    from the clock's origin and sets \bt_p{*ns_from_origin} to the
    result.

This function considers the clock's frequency in Hz (\bt_p{frequency}),
an offset from its origin in seconds (\bt_p{offset_seconds}) which
can be negative, and an additional offset in cycles
(\bt_p{offset_cycles}).

This function:

-# Converts the \bt_p{offset_cycles} value to seconds using
   \bt_p{frequency}.
-# Converts the \bt_p{cycles} value to seconds using \bt_p{frequency}.
-# Adds the values of 1., 2., and \bt_p{offset_seconds}.
-# Converts the value of 3. to nanoseconds and sets
   \bt_p{*ns_from_origin} to this result.

The following illustration shows the possible scenarios:

\bt_p{offset_seconds} can be negative. For example, considering:

- A 1000&nbsp;Hz clock.
- \bt_p{offset_seconds} set to -10&nbsp;seconds.
- \bt_p{offset_cycles} set to 500&nbsp;cycles
  (that is, 0.5&nbsp;seconds).
- \bt_p{cycles} set to 2000&nbsp;cycles (that is, 2&nbsp;seconds).

The computed value is -7.5&nbsp;seconds, so this function sets
\bt_p{*ns_from_origin} to -7,500,000,000.

This function can fail and return the
#BT_UTIL_CLOCK_CYCLES_TO_NS_FROM_ORIGIN_STATUS_OVERFLOW_ERROR status
code if any step of the computation process causes an integer overflow.

@param[in] cycles
    Clock's value (cycles).
@param[in] frequency
    Clock's frequency (Hz, or cycles/second).
@param[in] offset_seconds
    Offset, in seconds, from the clock's origin to add to
    \bt_p{cycles} (once converted to seconds).
@param[in] offset_cycles
    Offset, in cycles, to add to \bt_p{cycles}.

    <strong>On success</strong>, \bt_p{*ns_from_origin} is \bt_p{cycles}
    converted to nanoseconds from origin considering the clock's
