auto merge of #14216 : kballard/rust/macos_precise_time_ns, r=alexcri…

…chton

Use sync::one::Once to fetch the mach_timebase_info only once when
running precise_time_ns(). This helps because mach_timebase_info() is
surprisingly inefficient. Also fix the order of operations when applying
the timebase to the mach absolute time value.

This improves the time on my machine from

```
test tests::bench_precise_time_ns ... bench:       157 ns/iter (+/- 4)
```

to

```
test tests::bench_precise_time_ns ... bench:        38 ns/iter (+/- 3)
```

and it will get even faster once #14174 lands.
