   A picture to describe the second testcase that checks the flow of time in
   RuntimeMXBean.getUptime()


   start
             o1  u1  i1    Sleep for DELAY minutes    i2  u2  o2
     |-------|---|---|--------------------------------|---|---|---------------> time


   The following inequality (checked by the test) must always be true:

       o2-o1 >= u2-u1 >= i2-i1

   In the test:

   i1 - systemStartInner
   i2 - systemEndInner
   o1 - systemStartOuter
   o2 - systemEndOuter
   u1 - metricsStart
   u2 - metricsEnd
