If the library is used in Windows, then change time.time() to time.perf_counter()

Hi,
In short: when using the ICMPLIB in Windows, the patch allows you to correctly display small (up to 10 ms) RTT.

If a little more:
When using the library in Windows OS, if the rtt is less than 5-10 ms, the regular time.time() function does not cope with the task and round-trip times (rtt) is displayed as zero.

We encountered this behavior when we decided to use ICMPLIB to monitoring a large network in the city.
And this very simple patch allows you to see the real RTT value, not the null value.

I'm sorry if I didn't disclose this topic well in: #61

If OS Windows, then we use time.perf_counter(). Else - time.time()

'''
if PLATFORM_WINDOWS:
get_time = perf_counter
else:
get_time = time

I agree with @TerjeMjelde in #61 (comment)

there's no need to differentiate between Linux and Windows here.
