Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. start NFD
  2. change system clock (manually or with NTP client)
  3. execute nfdc status

Expected: "uptime" field reflects the actual duration NFD has been running

Actual: "uptime" field is inaccurate

Root cause: nfdc calculates uptime by subtracting NFD start timestamp from current timestamp.
Since both timestamps are based on system clock, changing the system clock results in inaccurate uptime.

This is an actual bug, because UNIX uptime command could report correct uptime even if system clock has been changed.

To fix this bug, we'll have to measure uptime by steady_clock on NFD side, and expose it through ForwarderStatus general status dataset.
