timeutil: remove detritus windows Now() implementation

We carried a custom implementation of timeutil.Now() for Windows, to
overcome the low precision of Go's impl [1]. It was doing so with an
expensive implementation. Having this custom implementation also make it
tricky to use stdlib functions like Since(), which internally use the
stdlib Now().
The Golang issue has since been fixed.
