Returns the provider for obtaining the current time in the form of a Clock, e.g. when validating the Future and Past constraints. 
Returns:
the provider for obtaining the current time, never null. If no specific provider has been configured during bootstrap, a default implementation using the current system time and the current default time zone as returned by Clock.systemDefaultZone() will be returned./**
