[issue37205] time.perf_counter() is not system-wide on Windows, in disagreement with documentation

Under the hood perf_counter_ns already uses the two winapi calls (see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/41761933c1c30bb6003b65eef1ba23a83db4eae4/Python/pytime.c#L970) just that it also sets up a static variable as a time origin which makes it process-wide instead of system-wide
