Record the start time so we can make the return value of Timer.now()
relative to it, increasing the chances that it fits in a tagged integer
instead of a heap-allocated double, at least for the first one or two
billion milliseconds.

Slick job. LGTM.

var assert = require('assert');

// Return value of Timer.now() should easily fit in a SMI right after start-up.
var Timer = process.binding('timer_wrap').Timer;
