Title:
  Report test execution time at a higher resolution

Bug description:
  Currently, we measure test execution time using DateTime.Now, which
  depends on the System Timer. Per the docs, that gives us a resolution
  of 10ms, although it seems higher in practice, probably due to context
  switching time.

  Really, if we want a good measure of how long it took to run a test,
  we should probably be using the Stopwatch class.

  While we are at it, we should probably use a TimeSpan rather than a double to represent elapsed time in the TestResult class,
  at least in NUnit 3.0, and possibly in the other projects as well. The NUnit 2.6 XML should continue to report time in seconds, while the NUnit 3.0 XML can use a string representation of the TimeSpan.
