timer: Switch mono_time to uint64_t
A 32-bit long storing microseconds will rollover every ~1.19 hours. This can cause stopwatch to misbehave, causing unexpected failures. If the current field in stopwatch is near 2^31, the expires field may rollover when initialized. If this occurs, stopwatch_expired() will instantly return true. If current and expires fields are near 2^31, the current field could rollover before being checked. In this case, stopwatch_expired() will not return true for over an hour. Also stopwatch_duration_usecs() will return a large negative duration. This issue has only been observed in SMM since it never takes more than 35 minutes to boot. Switching to uint64_t mitigates this issue since it will not rollover for over 500K+ years. The raw TSC would rollover sooner than this, ~200 years, depending on the tick frequency.
