// On Windows, TimeTicks are not consistent between processes. Often, the values
// on one process have a static offset relative to another. Occasionally, these
// offsets shift while running.
//
// To combat this, any TimeTicks values sent from the remote process to the
// local process must be tweaked in order to appear monotonic.
//
// In order to properly tweak ticks, we need 4 reference points:
//
// - |local_lower_bound|:  A known point, recorded on the local process, that
//                         occurs before any remote values that will be
//                         converted.
// - |remote_lower_bound|: The equivalent point on the remote process. This
//                         should be recorded immediately after
//                         |local_lower_bound|.
// - |local_upper_bound|:  A known point, recorded on the local process, that
//                         occurs after any remote values that will be
//                         converted.
// - |remote_upper_bound|: The equivalent point on the remote process. This
//                         should be recorded immediately before
//                         |local_upper_bound|.
//
// Once these bounds are determined, values within the remote process's range
// can be converted to the local process's range. The values are converted as
// follows:
//
// 1. If the remote's range exceeds the local's range, it is scaled to fit.
//    Any values converted will have the same scale factor applied.
//
// 2. The remote's range is shifted so that it is centered within the
//    local's range. Any values converted will be shifted the same amount.
