[webkit-dev] currentTime() and UTC time

Hi All

The default implementation of JS Date is calling currentTime() (by
jsCurrentTime()), so it assumes currentTime() returns current UTC time, and
system UTC time can be changed. However, currentTime() is also used in most
cases as a system tick count, which means it should always be monotonically
increasing. I guess we should remove the dependency on currentTime() from JS
Date to fix the confliction.

Any idea?
