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.
