Drop time synchronization hacks that tor 0.3.5 and 0.4.x made obsolete

Originally created by @hefee on #16471 (Redmine)

And here’s a list of little-t-tor changes that might be relevant, e.g. they may break or time sync hacks or instead make some of them obsolete:

Some of them were fixed in 0.3.5, some will be in 0.4.x but might be backported to 0.3.5 when we come back to this ticket. As part of this ticket, I expect we will:

  • look for breakage and fix it (subtasks of this ticket + report to Tor Network Team if the problem is on their side)
  • look for changes that make our code useless but not harmful and file new FT tickets for that (not blockers to close this ticket)
  • if it looks like 0.4.x will make a bigger difference, file a ticket about upgrading to 0.4.x and explain your findings there, so we don’t do all the exact same work again once we’re there
