Use monotonic clocks for time as appropriate

In some places, like or or, we want to use wall-clock time. But in others, like timers and so forth, we should be using a monotonic timer so we just don't have to worry about time moving backwards.

Libevent 2.1 has a subsystem for this; we could just use it as needed. Or we could snarf the code and adapt it for our uses.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
