Randomizes clock when systems boots by adding a few seconds and nanoseconds to enforce the design goal, that the host clock and Gateway/Workstation clock should always slightly differ (even before secure timesync succeeded!) to prevent time based fingerprinting / linkablity issues.

# Randomizes clock when systems boots #
Randomizes clock at boot time. Moves clock a few seconds and nanoseconds
to past or future. Useful in context of anonymity/privacy/Tor.
This is useful to enforce the design goal, that the host clock and
Gateway/Workstation clock should always slightly differ (even before secure
timesync succeeded!) to prevent time based fingerprinting / linkablity
issues.
Runs before Tor / sdwdate (if installed).
