Investigate and match Scratch's timer implementation

[towerofnix]

The current timer implementation in Leopard is very rudimentary:

leopard/src/Project.js

Lines 251 to 254 in 25652b1

	get timer() {
	const ms = new Date() - this.timerStart;
	return ms / 1000;
	}

This would be quite dandy if that's how the timer worked in Scratch, too, but it's not 📦

See this project I made last year which shows that the timer block is only updated once every rendered Scratch frame. (The main project loop runs many times in one frame unless you click "simulate movement", which enables requesting a screen redraw every tick.)

See all the gruesome details in scratch-vm: clock.js, sequencer.js.

It appears that the timer itself was implemented pretty similarly, except they used this date method as fallback for the performance counter
