Attached is a set of two patches.  The first one simply adds a
deprecation notice to current-milliseconds and adds the new procedure
current-process-milliseconds.

Racket also has `current-inexact-milliseconds`: "Returns the current time in milliseconds since midnight UTC, January 1, 1970. The result may contain fractions of a millisecond." <https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/time.html>

In general, millisecond precision is probably attainable on most/all operating systems without too much fuss. It's the sub-millisecond range where the problems begin.

Would it make sense to write a really simple SRFI about these millisecond-precision procedures?
