Subject: {luatz,doc}/gettime: Add Openresty's ngx.now as a source
X-Git-Url: https://git.madduck.net/etc/awesome.git/commitdiff_plain/cb6821bbbb191868a7b6c8813f8481c897d9dba9?ds=sidebyside

{luatz,doc}/gettime: Add Openresty's ngx.now as a source

nginx has it's own gettimeofday() cache, this will fetch the time from there.
It has only in millisecond granularity, so place it after luasocket in preferential order
