Timestamps for the launch-chain logs (operator request)

Every relay/console print now carries a wall-clock prefix (_StampedOut
stdout wrapper; the GUI monitor regexes use search() so the prefix is
transparent), and the pod's READY/pend lines carry wall time + tick --
post-mortems measure delays instead of guessing (the 3m40s load
reconstruction needed heartbeat-counting archaeology).
