Ichthyostega 4e9d54e6f9 Scheduler: switch to steady-clock
Obviously the better choice and a perfect fit for our requirements;
while the system-clock may jump and even move backwards on time service
adjustments, the steady clock just counts the ticks since last boot.

In libStdC++ both are implemented as int64_t and use nanoseconds resolution
