This PR updates the testrig to avoid unnecessary use of time.Now() where possible. This was preventing tests from being cached properly by our CI/CD system, and resulted in almost all tests being run for every PR, even when code pertaining to those tests was not changed. Now, far more tests should be cached, which will save time, processing power, and errors.
