Graph Perf Counter: Use GlueGen's Clock.currentNanos() to ease on performance-hit measuring performance.

This was mostly notable on a Raspberry-Pi 4 arm64, where perfromance degragated around 3x using high-freq counter.

Using our well determined Clock.currentNanos() removes this overhead,
back to 'easy measuring' and having a well defined 'currentNanos()' since module start.

TestTextRendererNEWT00 can enable Region and Font perf-counter w/ '-perf',
w/o it only uses its own counter and hence reduce the high-freq burden (64% perf win on raspi4).

+++

Below numbers show that Region.addOutlineShape() perhaps needs a little performance work
to allow long text to be processed in 'real time' on embedded platform.

Hower, usually we cache the Region for long text and can have at least one liner
to be renderer within 60fps fast, i.e. Region produced in ~26ms for a 81 char line
instead of ~130ms for 664 chars.

Using current medium sized text_1 w/ 664 chars, w/o '-perf'
and after having passed 40 frames, we have following durations:
