Define MonotonicClock interface for advanced timestamps
MonotonicClock can be implemented to provide more certainity about
time than the standard System.currentTimeMillis() can provide. This
can be used by classes such as PersonIdent and Ketch to rely on
more certainity about time moving in a strictly ascending order.
Gerrit Code Review can also leverage this interface through its
embedding of JGit and use MonotonicClock and ProposedTimestamp to
provide stronger assurance that NoteDb time is moving forward.

This came up while testing the proposed buck build for jgit. With buck
we can introduce smaller modules to allow for more concurrency during
build and to better control inner structure of jgit. Trying to put the
porcelain API into a different module than lower level implementation
classes failed since RebaseTodoLine used a porcelain API exception
causing a dependency cycle on the proposed modules. Using an exception
defined on the same abstraction level fixes this problem.
