Fetch both monotonic and wall time together when possible.
Avoids skew and is cheaper.
Also shave a few ns off in conversion in package time.
Compared to current implementation (after monotonic changes):
name old time/op new time/op delta
Now 19.6ns ± 1% 9.7ns ± 1% -50.63% (p=0.000 n=41+49) darwin/amd64
Now 23.5ns ± 4% 10.6ns ± 5% -54.61% (p=0.000 n=30+28) windows/amd64
Now 54.5ns ± 5% 29.8ns ± 9% -45.40% (p=0.000 n=27+29) windows/386
More importantly, compared to Go 1.8:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Now 9.5ns ± 1% 9.7ns ± 1% +1.94% (p=0.000 n=41+49) darwin/amd64
Now 12.9ns ± 5% 10.6ns ± 5% -17.73% (p=0.000 n=30+28) windows/amd64
Now 15.3ns ± 5% 29.8ns ± 9% +94.36% (p=0.000 n=30+29) windows/386
This brings time.Now back in line with Go 1.8 on darwin/amd64 and windows/amd64.
It's not obvious why windows/386 is still noticeably worse than Go 1.8,
but it's better than before this CL. The windows/386 speed is not too
important; the changes just keep the two architectures similar.
