implement maxima.cputime()

[malb]

This should work:

sage: t = maxima.cputime()
sage: _ = maxima.de_solve('diff(y,x,2) + 3*x = y', ['x','y'], [1,1,1])
sage: maxima.cputime(t)
0.568913

Component: calculus

Keywords: maxima, cputime

The patch applies cleanly, the doc test example works as expected, and it provides a useful functionality.
