Issue #24707: Remove assertion in monotonic clock

Browse source 
Don't check anymore at runtime that the monotonic clock doesn't go backward.
Yes, it happens. It occurs sometimes each month on a Debian buildbot slave
running in a VM.

The problem is that Python cannot do anything useful if a monotonic clock goes
backward. It was decided in the PEP 418 to not fix the system, but only expose
the clock provided by the OS.
