util: fix and move `get_current_time_msec` into a util file

This commit makes `get_current_time_msec` correctly return milliseconds
as opposed to microseconds. It also considers the value of `tv_sec`, so
we don't lose occasionally go back in time by one second. Finally, the
function is moved into `util/time.cc` so that it can be reused elsewhere
without having to consider these pitfalls.
