Fix Typo: On Windows, the .time function now uses GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() [--> 1 microsecond resolution] instead of GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() [--> 15.625 millisecond resolution].

Clarification: On Windows The .monotonic functions now use the same clock as the .perf_counter functions, not vice versa.
The .perf_counter functions previously already used QueryPerformanceCounter() + QueryPerformanceFrequency() [--> 1 microsecond resolution], whereas the .monotonic functions previously used GetTickCount64() [--> 15.625 millisecond resolution].

   The function was changed was in 1d95451, with issue #63207. I consider this to be finishing off that issue, so I will close this as a duplicate and fix it there.

   As for the clarification, there is nothing wrong currently, and it makes no sense to switch the location? You got the same feedback on the pr, which is now closed, so for convenience I will not be pulling it's commit.
