[computer-go] Time handling on CGOS

[Don Dailey]

I want to point out that this is not an attempt to be fair about
network lag - if you have a more reliable network your program 
will always have an advantage.    

What it tries to do is make it so that the time your bot spends
thinking as reckoned by your local clock is an upper bound on
the time the server thinks you spent.
