Move startNano from runtime to time package.
In preparation for a subsequent change that speeds up Since and Until.
This also makes code simpler as we have less assembly as the result,
monotonic time handling is better localized in time package.
This changes values returned from nanotime on windows
(it does not account for startNano anymore), current comments state
that it's important, but it's unclear how it can be important
since no other OS does this.
Update #25729

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.
