Here we convert the nanoseconds to microseconds.

Same here.

There is no such change.
 * As documented above we used to compute a time in microseconds.
 * Now we call g_get_monotonic_time() which returns a time in 
   _microseconds_, unlike the similarly named spice_monotonic_time().
   https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-get-monotonic-time

So I'll add this as further evidence that the 'spice_monotonic_time()' 
name is confusing for my 'Time functions in Spice' thread.
