The readline module wants a truthy time while using Timer.now() doesn't necessarily guarantee that early on in the process' life. It also doesn't actually resolve the timing issues experienced in #14681. Instead, this PR fixes the related tests and moves them back to parallel.

This needs a stress test & CI (hence the WIP), but I can't seem to run one from a different repository anymore as used to be possible...

Hmm, it looks like readline used to use Date.now(), but was changed to timer_wrap on purpose via #14681, cc @Trott

@maclover7 I'm aware. I'm like 99.999% positive that change wasn't strictly correct. Timer.now() updates internal uv time so it shouldn't fix the bug on its own. Indeed, running those tests in parallel proves that the bug exists with both Timer.now() and Date.now(). Hence the actual fix to those tests in this PR.

(Also, strictly speaking Timer.now() could return 0 early in the process' life so it's not really ideal for using in readline which wants a truthy time.)

On second thought, now is a costant, so isn't this always 0?

It's constant within the scope of the function but the case it's accounting for is when _normalWrite is called twice in a row, once with \n and then with \r.

Gotcha.

That said, this did make me rethink caching the value like I did. It doesn't make any sense and it's an unnecessary call in many situations. I'll fix that up.

Also it's definitely easier to grok now.

Ok, this is no longer WIP as the stress test CI is clean: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-stress-single-test/1774/nodes=osx1010/console
