Julien Gilli befbbad051 timers: backport f8193ab
Original commit message:

 timers: use uv_now instead of Date.now

 This saves a few calls to gettimeofday which can be expensive, and
 potentially subject to clock drift. Instead use the loop time which
 uses hrtime internally.

In addition to the backport, this commit:
 - keeps _idleStart timers' property which is still set to
   Date.now() to avoid breaking existing code that uses it, even if
   its use is discouraged.
 - adds automated tests. These tests use a specific branch of
   libfaketime that hasn't been submitted upstream yet. libfaketime
   is git cloned if needed when running automated tests.

* This test case aims at making sure that timing utilities such

* drifting or inconsistent time changes (such as ntp time sync
* in the past, etc.).
*
* It is run using faketime so that we change how
* non-monotonic clocks perceive time movement. We freeze
* non-monotonic time, and check if setTimeout and setInterval
* work properly in that situation.
*
* We check this by setting a timer based on a monotonic clock
* to fire after setTimeout's callback is supposed to be called.
* This monotonic timer, by definition, is not subject to time drifting
* and inconsistent time changes, so it can be considered as a solid
* reference.
*
* When the monotonic timer fires, if the setTimeout's callback
* hasn't been called yet, it means that setTimeout's underlying timer
* is vulnerable to time drift or inconsistent time changes.
