 Bootstrap/Load: Add Function for reliable timing data

 Adds timer_float which can be used to get the time elapsed so far during
 the PHP script. Should make it easier to display the page generation time
 in the footer of admin.

 WordPress should expose timing data as a float in the most accurate manner
 possible. timer_stop() has two problems: it uses an initial timestamp
 generated later than it needs to be and its formatted return value can not
 reliably be used as a number (some locales swap commas and periods, for
 example).

 Props andy, matt, jorbin.
 Fixes #39163.
