test: Allow time_point in boost checks
This is required in the next commit.
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny test-only code change that lets Boost unit tests print std::chrono::time_point values when a check fails. It only touches a test helper header, adds a standard library include, and defines a stream output operator. There is no production code change and no security relevance.
No security action needed; this is a benign test utility change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit adds an operator<< overload in src/test/util/common.h for std::chrono::time_point
