Support reactor timing metric on more reactors. (#16532)

Previously only Twisted's EPollReactor was compatible with the
reactor timing metric, notably not working when asyncio was used.

After this change, the following configurations support the reactor
timing metric:

* poll, epoll, or select reactors
* asyncio reactor with a poll, epoll, select, /dev/poll, or kqueue event loop.
