Using this package lets to manipulate time. In this particular case, it
lets to advance the time 61 second forward instantly.
A few side changes were necessary:
- Do not use fasttime in unit tests. The fasttime package starts a
goroutine outside the test bubble which causes the clock to be real, not
fake.
- Stop the time.Ticker explicitly and also stop idbNext. These two
create goroutines with infinite loops which causes the unit tests that
use synctest to hang forever. All goroutines created inside the bubble
must exit in order for the syntest to finish.
- synctest is an experimental package and requires an environment
variable to be set. The Makefile was changed to set it.
