Consider swapping to web-time from instant

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
wasm-bindgen 0.2.86 effectively breaks the stdweb library, which is a pretty old library that is an optional dependency of instant. While instant still currently works, as long as that stdweb feature isn't enabled, it hasn't seen updates in a while and apparently has 2 critical issues, according to a long discussion post in the rust discord.
Describe the solution you'd like
Apparently, however, a new library meant as a drop-in replacement to instant now exists, called web-time (github), which aims to have greater similarity with sys::time. I have tried it in one of my projects, and it seems to work just fine. Like instant, it reverts to using sys::time if not in the browser.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The main option would be to continue using instant, being aware that the stdweb feature shouldn't be enabled.
