test: improve pummel/test-timers.js

* use Date.now() instead of new Date() because only the timestamp is ever used, so we don't need the full Date object * use separate start times recorded for the two different test cases * improve assertion messages PR-URL: #35175 Reviewed-By: Daijiro Wachi <daijiro.wachi@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <anna@addaleax.net> Reviewed-By: Shingo Inoue <leko.noor@gmail.com>
