Mockup of the requested change in the time notation of pulseview

Overview: 
At the top of the Pulseview window, the relative time from the zero point is displayed. I would like to be able to switch between relative time from the zero point and the wall time, so I don't have to remember when I started a capture, and perform that calculation myself.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start Pulseview
2) Right-click on the strip with +100ms, +200ms and so on. 

Actual Results:
A drop down menu shows up with the following options: "Create Marker here", "Set as Zero point", and "Disable mouse hover marker"

Expected Results:
I would like to also have the option "Switch to wall time", and then see the system time at the time the sample is taken at the top. When right-clicking again, the option "Switch to relative time" can be used to return to the relative time (0 for the first sample, +100ms, +200msec and so on) again.

Build Date & Hardware: I build it myself on 04/15/2023 on a 64 bit AMD machine.
