When we port the `Event` class to Rust, the constructor will check for
the existence of required fields. To support that, we tidy up the test
code where we construct fake events to add all the required fields.
There should be no behavioural changes.
Review commit-by-commit.
This changes the arguments in clock functions to be `Duration` and
converts call sites and constants into `Duration`. There are still some
more functions around that should be converted (e.g.
`timeout_deferred`), but we leave that to another PR.
We also changes `.as_secs()` to return a float, as the rounding broke
things subtly. The only reason to keep it (its the same as
`timedelta.total_seconds()`) is for symmetry with `as_millis()`.

Introduce `Clock.call_when_running(...)` to wrap startup code in a
logcontext, ensuring we can identify which server generated the logs.
Background:
> Ideally, nothing from the Synapse homeserver would be logged against the `sentinel`
> logcontext as we want to know which server the logs came from. In practice, this is not
> always the case yet especially outside of request handling.
>
> Global things outside of Synapse (e.g. Twisted reactor code) should run in the
> `sentinel` logcontext. It's only when it calls into application code that a logcontext
> gets activated. This means the reactor should be started in the `sentinel` logcontext,
> and any time an awaitable yields control back to the reactor, it should reset the
> logcontext to be the `sentinel` logcontext. This is important to avoid leaking the
> current logcontext to the reactor (which would then get picked up and associated with
> the next thing the reactor does).

Also adds a lint to prefer `Clock.call_when_running(...)` over
`reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`
