Gracefully handle time-overlapping point clouds. (#936)

Per-point relative times are usually computed by multiplying
a per-point time increment by the number of points.
So it is not uncommon for consecutive point clouds of a single
sensor to overlap in time.
When this happens, we act as if no backward jump in time happened
and warn once per input point cloud.
