Pull request description:

  There may be a theoretical deadlock for the duration of the offset when the system clock is adjusted into a past time while executing `SeedStrengthen`.

  Fix this by using steady clock.

  Do the same in `FindBestImplementation`, which shouldn't be affected, because it discards outlier measurements. However, doing the same there for consistency seems fine.

  Do the same in `FlushStateToDisk`, which should make the flushes more steady, if the system clock is adjusted by a large offset.
