[boost] [filesystem] Epoch of trivial_clock

Subject: [boost] [filesystem] Epoch of trivial_clock

The filesystem::trivial_clock type is implementation-defined [1]. That
means that the epoch is also implementation-defined.

How do we determine the epoch of trivial_clock?

For instance, we may need to represent the last_write_time() timestamp
to the end-user, or transfer it to another node when we implement a
network file system.

PS: I am looking at the std::filesystem proposal, but I assume that
boost::filesystem will be update accordingly.
