// Converts timing metrics stored as TimeTicks into the format expected by the
// native layer: a std::optional<Cronet_DateTime> (which may be valueless if
// either |ticks| or |start_ticks| is null) -- this is returned via |out|. An
// out parameter is used because Cronet IDL structs like Cronet_DateTime aren't
// assignable.
//
// By calculating time values using a base (|start_ticks|, |start_time|) pair,
// time values are normalized. This allows time deltas between pairs of events
// to be accurately computed, even if the system clock changed between those
// events, as long as times for both events were calculated using the same
// (|start_ticks|, |start_time|) pair.
//
// Args:
//
// ticks: The ticks value corresponding to the time of the event -- the returned
//        time corresponds to this event.
//
// start_ticks: Ticks measurement at some base time -- the ticks equivalent of
//              start_time. Should be smaller than ticks.
//
// start_time: Time measurement at some base time -- the time equivalent of
//             start_ticks. Must not be null.
//
// out: The output of the function -- the existing pointee object is mutated to
//      either hold the new Cronet_DateTime or nothing (if either |ticks| or
//      |start_ticks| is null).
