Rollup merge of #144519 - clarfonthey:const-system-time, r=jhpratt
Constify `SystemTime` methods
This is separated out from #143949 due to the fact that it touches nontrivial system code. While the same arithmetic methods on `Instant` could be made const, since that type explicitly cannot be constructed at const-time, we don't bother. However, due to the fact that `SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH` exists, it can be useful to create other anchors at other points in time, and thus these methods should be possible to use in const context.
> Side comment: I would honestly like to just move every single implementation which is a thin wrapper over `Duration` or some integer clock into their own module which is tested on all targets, so that we don't have to worry about code for lower-tier targets not being tested. However, the comments in `std::sys_common` pointing out the desire to move things to `std::sys::common` confused me, particularly due to the fact that `std::sys::common` is taken from the hellish asterisk-import of `std::sys::pal::common` and others.

> I think that, for trivial types like this, we should just have a platform-independent module that can be tested on all platforms, to both ensure that the code is properly tested regardless of whether higher-tier platforms needed, and to avoid the extreme mental gymnastics required to determine where in the code it lies.
