Core/Clock: Restart now returns the elapsed time in milliseconds

ChangeLog.md

@@ -59,6 +59,7 @@ Nazara Engine:
 - Fix LuaClass not working correctly when Lua stack wasn't empty
 - Add RigidBody2D simulation control (via EnableSimulation and IsSimulationEnabled), which allows to disable physics and collisions at will.
 - ⚠️ LuaInstance no longer load all lua libraries on construction, this is done in the new LoadLibraries method which allows you to excludes some libraries
+- Clock::Restart now returns the elapsed microseconds since construction or last Restart call
 
 Nazara Development Kit:
 - Added ImageWidget (#139)
