Charles c4d1ae0a47 add time wrapping to Time (#5982)
# Objective

- Sometimes, like when using shaders, you can only use a time value in `f32`. Unfortunately this suffers from floating precision issues pretty quickly. The standard approach to this problem is to wrap the time after a given period
- This is necessary for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5409

## Solution

- Add a `seconds_since_last_wrapping_period` method on `Time` that returns a `f32` that is the `seconds_since_startup` modulo the `max_wrapping_period`

---

## Changelog

Added `seconds_since_last_wrapping_period` to `Time`

## Additional info

I'm very opened to hearing better names. I don't really like the current naming, I just went with something descriptive.
