Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25456: rpc: Use steady_clock for getrpcinfo durations

fabae3541ac574a1101be8dc54f1499dbbf2f231 rpc: Use steady_clock for getrpcinfo durations (MacroFake)

Pull request description:

  Currently it uses `GetTimeMicros`, which is the system time. Using steady time instead, makes the code type safe and avoids spurious offsets when the system time adjusts.
