time: Remove xtime_cache

With the prior logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of
possibly half a second off.

This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always
stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up
removing the xtime_cache related code.

This is a bit simpler, but still could use some wider testing.
