The original analysis of the Go corpus assumed that these
stripped monotonic time. During the design discussion we
decided to try not stripping monotonic time here, but existing
code works better if we do.
See the discussion on golang.org/issue/18991 for more details.
For #18991.

Fetch both monotonic and wall time together when possible.
Avoids skew and is cheaper.
Also shave a few ns off in conversion in package time.
Compared to current implementation (after monotonic changes):
name old time/op new time/op delta
Now 19.6ns ± 1% 9.7ns ± 1% -50.63% (p=0.000 n=41+49) darwin/amd64
Now 23.5ns ± 4% 10.6ns ± 5% -54.61% (p=0.000 n=30+28) windows/amd64
Now 54.5ns ± 5% 29.8ns ± 9% -45.40% (p=0.000 n=27+29) windows/386
More importantly, compared to Go 1.8:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Now 9.5ns ± 1% 9.7ns ± 1% +1.94% (p=0.000 n=41+49) darwin/amd64
Now 12.9ns ± 5% 10.6ns ± 5% -17.73% (p=0.000 n=30+28) windows/amd64
Now 15.3ns ± 5% 29.8ns ± 9% +94.36% (p=0.000 n=30+29) windows/386
This brings time.Now back in line with Go 1.8 on darwin/amd64 and windows/amd64.
It's not obvious why windows/386 is still noticeably worse than Go 1.8,
but it's better than before this CL. The windows/386 speed is not too
important; the changes just keep the two architectures similar.
