Add a command to access the system timer
Two sub-commands... start and get. * start sets the reference. * get prints out the time since the last start (in "<sec>.<msec>" format). If get is called without start, returns time since boot. Simple way to benchmark an operation: "timer start;<commands-to-measure>;timer get" Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com>
