/**
* SafeClock maintains a "safe" time in milliseconds.
*
* Unlike the {@link System#currentTimeMillis()} this clock guarantees that
* the time never "goes back". More specifically, when queried twice on the
* same thread, the second query will never return a value that is less then
* the value returned by the first.
*
* If we detect the system clock moving backward, an attempt will be made to
* gradually compensate the safe clock (by slowing it down), so in the long
* run the safe time is the same as the system time.
*
* The SafeClock supports the concept of "clock jitter", which is a small
* time interval that the system clock could fluctuate by without a
* corresponding passage of wall time.
