Monotonize the OOM-killer data timers
In a couple of places, to implement the OOM-circuit-killer defense against sniper attacks, we have counters to remember the age of cells or data chunks. These timers were based on wall clock time, which can move backwards, thus giving roll-over results for our age calculation. This commit creates a low-budget monotonic time, based on ratcheting gettimeofday(), so that even in the event of a time rollback, we don't do anything _really_ stupid. A future version of Tor should update this function to do something even less stupid here, like employ clock_gettime() or its kin.
