Use a monotonic time for registry cache.

So an old cache does not take precedence over a newly set value.
I noticed this bug because of the time going backward in tests
because of the time.time mock introduced in
dcf55cf6de, but this may happen
in production systems too.

Also adds another deprecation warning for python < 3.3.
