Make `now` configurable so time can freeze during backburner run loop #263

This allow us to use fake timers, such as sinon.useFakeTimers, to check the state of the app during the run loop.

For example: if a popup is supposed to be triggered in X ms from now and it will show to the user during Y ms, then this will allow us to use fake timers to pause between X and Y and check the state of the Ember app at that exact time.

This brings now into parity with the other platform concepts (setTimeout, clearTimeout, etc).

I think we have it the way it is by design. For example, the autorun flush should not be interuptable.

Ya, I think I’m not grok’ing something here. Can we chat about this in higher bandwidth so I can make sure I understand?
