Creates a new TimeVal object based on the current wall clock time.
(e.g., gettimeofday / clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME).

This is a simple wrapper around util.gettime() to get all the niceties of a TimeVal object.
If you don't need sub-second precision, prefer os.time().
Which means that, yes, this is a fancier POSIX Epoch ;).

@usage
    local TimeVal = require("ui/timeval")
    local tv_start = TimeVal:realtime()
    -- Do some stuff.
    -- You can add and substract `TimeVal` objects.
    local tv_duration = TimeVal:realtime() - tv_start

--[[--
Creates a new TimeVal object based on the current value from the system's MONOTONIC clock source.
(e.g., clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC).)

POSIX guarantees that this clock source will *never* go backwards (but it *may* return the same value multiple times).
On Linux, this will not account for time spent with the device in suspend (unlike CLOCK_BOOTTIME).

The assumption being anything that requires accurate timestamps expects a monotonic clock source.
