[Updates] Microsecond resolution Time and TimeAndDate

> Hi Folks,
>
> I've just published some updates and a new image. Biggest changes are in
> Time and DateAndTime. After some cleanup (removed a PoolDictionary and
> simplified code), I was able to dig deeper. Now we use the new 64 bit
> clock primitives in Cog VMs if available. This gives microsecond
> resolution Time and DateAndTime. In case the new primitives are not
> available, a combination of the seconds clock and the rolling
> millisecond clock is used. I redid the logic to synchronize them,
> removing many class variables, and enabling a faster image startup. But
> more important, users don't need to worry about millisecond clock roll
> over anymore. It is handled by new logic I did, that is robust wrt the
> moment the rollover occurs, and doesn't even need to know the clock max
> value.
>
> New code is much simpler, faster and robust. On Cog, it is yet even
> faster, and with better temporal resolution.
>
> I also added back ImageMorph >> #form, needed by Ken's Solitaire games.
