Description
Add delay and now functions. Add test runtime with emulated clock to test code with delays without spending actual time on delays.
Would be invaluable for testing asynchronous code, not sure is this even possible with current Loom design but might be worth a try.
There is similar feature in cats-effect, separate effect evaluator with emulated time: https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/docs/core/test-runtime#mocking-time

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the current Loom design and the linked cats-effect test-runtime documentation, then determine how delayed and current time are represented. Done means the issue's proposed delay and now functions can be tested with an emulated clock without waiting in real time.
