util: use 64 bit timer on Windows

git__timer was originally implemented using a 32 bit timer since
Windows XP did not support GetTickCount64. Windows XP was discontinued
five years ago, so it should be safe to use the new API.

As a benefit, we do not need to care about overflows for the next 585
million years.
