Willy Tarreau 6064b34be0 MINOR: time: also provide a global, monotonic global_now_ms timer
The period-based freq counters need the global date in milliseconds,
so better calculate it and expose it rather than letting all call
places incorrectly retrieve it.

Here what we do is that we maintain a new globally monotonic timer,
global_now_ms, which ought to be very close to the global_now one,
but maintains the monotonic approach of now_ms between all threads
in that global_now_ms is always ahead of any now_ms.

This patch is made simple to ease backporting (it will be needed for
a subsequent fix), but it also opens the way to some simplifications
on the time handling: instead of computing the local time and trying
to force it to the global one, we should soon be able to proceed in
the opposite way, that is computing the new global time an making the
local one just the latest snapshot of it. This will bring the benefit
of making sure that the global time is always ahead of the local one.
