These aren't essential, but they're core functionality in SDL; the existing GetTicks has documentation suggesting use of GetTicks64 instead. My motivation for adding the additional methods was an effort to convert https://github.com/zachbarth/minimalist-game-framework to .Net 8 and reliant on an existing SDL nuget package (the package built from this repository) rather than reimplementing all of the interop in the project.
As a side note, I noticed that GetTicks was implemented in SDL.Audio.cs which is probably not organizationally the right place for it -- but I just followed suit because I believe the new methods belong wherever GetTicks is.
I also made the same fix as a pending pull-request, but that change should disappear once it's approved.
