Fixed potential render scene time precision issues.

The timestamp was simply converted from GetTimeAtCurrentTick to a float. Since this value is backed by QueryPerformanceCounter which is 0 at boot, you could see broken animations on the GPU when your system has been on for a long time. So I simplified the RPI's time API (removed unused code), and subtracted the application start time each frame before converting the time value to a float.
Also moved FindShaderInputConstantIndex("m_time") to be called only once, instead of every frame.
