RecordingStream::set_time_* are not automatically used as documented

[kpreid]

Description
The Rust documentation says that the time in RecordingStream::{set_time_sequence, set_time_seconds, set_time_nanos} will be “used for all subsequent logging performed from this same thread”. However, it is not. The timeline name I pass to set_time_sequence() does not appear in the viewer.

Rerun version
0.6.0

Additional context
Based on examining the code, it appears that the only effect they have is to change the output of RecordingStream::now(), but now() is not called automatically by anything outside of the python_bridge code. Perhaps it should be automatically included in a similar fashion as the log_time timeline?

I have found that calling .with_timepoint(stream.now()) on each MsgSender causes the set time to appear in the viewer, which suffices as a workaround.

Thanks for the report!

This should be fixed now by:
