[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Win32 event generation mixes up timeGetTime() and GetMessageTime() (#509)

[Christoph Thiede]

Hi Elliot,

> clearly we want the most simple solution that is consistent across all platforms. So yes, please feel free to harmonize the time stamps in a logical manner.

While I do not totally see why across-platform consistency is relevant over different platforms (when you reopen an image on a different platform, there will be a jump in the millisecondClock anyway?), regular event timestamps appear to be consistent (time since host system start) over Windows/Linux. With my PR #518, timestamps for DnD events are consistent, too.

Also thank you for the interesting links, but I think they do not affect this PR because `GetTickCount()` only relies on the host system's clock and such is out of scope for us to sync.
