runtime: fix time base for time.Now()

This function previously returned the atomic time, that isn't affected
by system time changes but also has a time base at some arbitrary time
in the past. This makes sense for baremetal platforms (which typically
don't know the wall time) but it gives surprising results on Linux and
macOS: time.Now() usually returns a time somewhere near the start of
1970.

This commit fixes this by obtaining both time values: the monotonic time
and the wall clock time. This is also how the Go runtime implements the
time.now function.
