* Overriding Time: osmo_gettimeofday()
* - Useful to write and reproduce tests that depend on specific time
* factors. This API allows to fake the timeval provided by `gettimeofday()`
* by using a small shim osmo_gettimeofday().
* - If the clock override is disabled (default) for a given clock,
* osmo_gettimeofday() will do the same as regular `gettimeofday()`.
* - If you want osmo_gettimeofday() to provide a specific time, you must
* enable time override by setting the global variable
* osmo_gettimeofday_override (`osmo_gettimeofday_override = true`), then
* set the global struct timeval osmo_gettimeofday_override_time wih the
* desired value. Next time osmo_gettimeofday() is called, it will return
* the values previously set.
* - A helper osmo_gettimeofday_override_add() is provided to easily
* increment osmo_gettimeofday_override_time with a specific amount of
* time.
