Handle monotonic clock going backwards during runtime

Handle monotonic clock going backwards during runtime

We've had some users complain that `duration_since` is panic'ing
for them. This is possible if the machine being run on is buggy and
the "monotonic clock" goes backwards, which sadly some ancient
systems can do.

Rust addressed this issue in 1.60 by forcing
`Instant::duration_since` to not panic if the machine is buggy
(and time goes backwards), but for users on older rust versions we
do the same by hand here.
