Add SystemTime example #13

Description

@aligneddev

Add links and code example of a testing seam for DateTime.

I've called this systemTime in the past.
Here's a possible implementation
using System;

namespace Shared.Core.Implementations
{
///


/// Testable alternative to DateTime.Now or DateTimeOffset.Now
///

public static class SystemTime
{
private static DateTime? _dateTimeHolder = null;

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
    /// </summary>
    public static DateTime Now => _dateTimeHolder ?? DateTime.Now;

    /// <summary>
    /// Allow overriding the time for testing
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="fakeDateTime"></param>
    public static void SetNow(DateTime fakeDateTime)
    {
        _dateTimeHolder = fakeDateTime;
    }
    public static void ResetNow()
    {
        _dateTimeHolder = null;
    }

    private static DateTimeOffset? _offsetHolder = null;

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the current local DateTimeOffset
    /// </summary>
    public static DateTimeOffset NowOffset => _offsetHolder ?? DateTimeOffset.Now;

    /// <summary>
    /// Allow overriding the time for testing
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="fakeDateTimeOffset"></param>
    public static void SetNowOffset(DateTimeOffset fakeDateTimeOffset)
    {
        _offsetHolder = fakeDateTimeOffset;
    }

    public static void ResetOffsetNow()
    {
        _offsetHolder = null;
    }
}

}
