* travel in time, which can confuse algorithms. Instead we measure
* elapsed time according to the system. This time can never go
* backwards (i.e. it never wraps around, at least not in less than
* five million years of system elapsed time). It might not advance
* while the system is sleeping. If TimeStamp::SetNow() is not called
* at all for hours or days, we might not notice the passage of some
* of that time.
*
* We deliberately do not expose a way to convert TimeStamps to some
* particular unit. All you can do is compute a difference between two
* TimeStamps to get a TimeDuration. You can also add a TimeDuration
* to a TimeStamp to get a new TimeStamp. You can't do something
* meaningless like add two TimeStamps.
*
* Internally this is implemented as either a wrapper around
* - high-resolution, monotonic, system clocks if they exist on this
* platform
* - PRIntervalTime otherwise. We detect wraparounds of
* PRIntervalTime and work around them.
