o switched from epicsTime :: getCurrent to epicsTime :: getMonotonic as per EPICS 7 convention

Nevertheless, personally I have some concerns
---------------------------------------------

I do understand that general time can cause time discontinuities, and that discontinuities are
bad for a timer queue. However, I also worry about this being a backward incompatible API change,
and about users subtracting monotonic epicsTime time from ordinary epicsTime to produce a garbage
difference amount. Perhaps a different user defined type should have been used for monotonic
time. Also, does monotonic epicsTime convert to a date the same as ordinary epicsTime?
