Use performance.now() instead of Date.now()... (#3483)

* Use performance.now() instead of Date.now()...

  * Wherever applicable (measuring performance, not time).
  * Failback to support node < 16.0.0 (perf_hook not globally exposed)
  * Failback to Date.now() for node < 8.5.0

  ✔ Tests passed with node > 16.0.0 (22.12.0)
  ✕ Couldn't pass with node prior 16.0.0 but not due to this changes.

https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/perf_hooks.html#perf_hooks_performance_now
https://w3c.github.io/hr-time/

* Yarn prettier

* More lint fixes.

* Removed polyfill code for node <16

They are no longer supported:
