[issue14222] Use time.steady() to implement timeout

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com> added the comment:

Other modules that should use a monotonic clock instead of the system time:

 - timeit: default_timer = time.time (but time.clock is still the best clock on Windows for this mmodule)
 - subprocess for Popen.communicate() timeoout
 - sched
 - socket, ssl: timeout. need a C function which uses a monotonic clock if available, or fallback to the system clock
 - trace
