runtime: make CPU limiter assist time much less error-prone

Browse Source 
At the expense of performance (having to update another atomic counter)
this change makes CPU limiter assist time much less error-prone to
manage. There are currently a number of issues with respect to how
scavenge assist time is treated, and this change resolves those by just
having the limiter maintain its own internal pool that's drained on each
update.

While we're here, clear the measured assist time each cycle, which was
the impetus for the change.
