[issue41303] perf_counter result does not count system sleep time in Mac OS

I made a record of my investigations here: https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/1586

One reason we might care about this is that asyncio ought to be using a clock that stops ticking while suspended.

(On which note: Please don't switch macOS to use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC); that would be a breaking change for us!)

At least Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows all have a way to access a monotonic clock that stops ticking while the system is suspended.
