Detailed Description

Relative clock for all of ILLIXR.

Please use this instead of std::chrono clocks; this way, you can fake real time without changing your code.

It also eliminates the class of bugs relating to using absolute time instead of time-since-start.

Unfortunately this can't satisfy Clock because it needs to have data (namely _m_start) shared across link-time boundaries. There's no clean way to do this with static variables, so instead I use instance variables and Phonebook.
