gdb: Use C++11 std::chrono

This patch fixes a few problems with GDB's time handling.

#1 - It avoids problems with gnulib's C++ namespace support

On MinGW, the struct timeval that should be passed to gnulib's
gettimeofday replacement is incompatible with libiberty's
timeval_sub/timeval_add.  That's because gnulib also replaces "struct
timeval" with its own definition, while libiberty expects the
system's.

E.g., in code like this:

  gettimeofday (&prompt_ended, NULL);
  timeval_sub (&prompt_delta, &prompt_ended, &prompt_started);
  timeval_add (&prompt_for_continue_wait_time,
               &prompt_for_continue_wait_time, &prompt_delta);

That's currently handled in gdb by not using gnulib's gettimeofday at
all (see common/gdb_sys_time.h), but that #undef hack won't work with
if/when we enable gnulib's C++ namespace support, because that mode
adds compile time warnings for uses of ::gettimeofday, which are hard
errors with -Werror.

#2 - But there's an elephant in the room: gettimeofday is not monotonic...

We're using it to:

  a) check how long functions take, for performance analysis
  b) compute when in the future to fire events in the event-loop
  c) print debug timestamps

But that's exactly what gettimeofday is NOT meant for.  Straight from
the man page:

~~~
       The time returned by gettimeofday() is affected by
       discontinuous jumps in the system time (e.g., if the system
       administrator manually changes the system time).  If you need a
       monotonically increasing clock, see clock_gettime(2).
~~~

std::chrono (part of the C++11 standard library) has a monotonic clock
exactly for such purposes (std::chrono::steady_clock).  This commit
switches to use that instead of gettimeofday, fixing all the issues
mentioned above.
