Issue #14428, #14397: Implement the PEP 418
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic() * On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of QueryPerformanceCounter() * time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available * Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time() functions

-The :mod:`time` module has new functions:
+The :pep:`418` added new functions to the :mod:`time` module:
-* :func:`~time.clock_getres` and :func:`~time.clock_gettime` functions and
- ``CLOCK_xxx`` constants.
-* :func:`~time.steady`.
+* :func:`~time.get_clock_info`: Get information on a clock.
+* :func:`~time.monotonic`: Monotonic clock (cannot go backward), not affected
+ by system clock updates.
+* :func:`~time.perf_counter`: Performance counter with the highest available
+ resolution to measure a short duration.
+* :func:`~time.process_time`: Sum of the system and user CPU time of the
+ current process.
-(Contributed by Victor Stinner in :issue:`10278`)
+Other new functions:
+
+* :func:`~time.clock_getres`, :func:`~time.clock_gettime` and
+ :func:`~time.clock_settime` functions with ``CLOCK_xxx`` constants.
