util: make monotonic time fn return ms

`git__timer` is now `git_time_monotonic`, and returns milliseconds
since an arbitrary epoch.

Using a floating point to store the number of seconds elapsed was
clever, as it better supports the wide range of precision from the
different monotonic clocks of different systems. But we're a version
control system, not a real-time clock.

Milliseconds is a good enough precision for our work _and_ it's the
units that system calls like `poll` take and that our users interact
with.

Make `git_time_monotonic` return the monotonically increasing number
of milliseconds "ticked" since some arbitrary epoch.
