Remove time dependency

In 7398e9f a regression was introduced which causes Alacritty to crash
on startup since wayland has a keyboard repeat rate thread started
before our logger is initialized.

Since the latest version of time was rather inconvenient to use anyway
and there is no nice solution for this issue other than downgrading the
`time` version again, the time since startup is now logged instead of
the local time.

This should still provide all the relevant information, while getting
rid of an unnecessary dependency. While it would be possible to also
print the delta between log messages, this can be trivially computed so
it has been omitted to skip adding another `Mutex` to the `Logger`
struct.
