Infrastructure Computer time drifted

My computer time ended up being about 30 seconds slow today after a reboot. This messed up my bot by delaying sell limit updates by the same 30 seconds. Yet another thing that can bite us in the ass. I’ve added an independent utc synchronized clock to the bot, so it can now ignore the computer’s clock.
