I merged the two functions into one function: time.steady(strict=False).

time.steady() should be monotonic most of the time, but may use a fallback.

time.steady(strict=True) fails with OSError or NotImplementedError if 
reading the monotonic clock failed or if no monotonic clock is available.

I patched the queue and threading modules to use time.steady() instead 
of time.time().

The documentation may need clarification.
