Returns the system uptime in number of seconds.

The value returned can be inaccurate in some
rare virtualization cases. The issue arises when the virtualized
guest instance shares the kernel with the host system.
Due to the fact that libuv uses a syscall that
provides host's uptime instead of guest's
uptime on OpenVZ, `os.uptime()` may also provide
erroneous result.

Please refer to <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/36244> and
<https://github.com/libuv/libuv/issues/3068> for an exploration of
this issue, until it is resolved by libuv.
