Event timestamps are at track time rather than at event start time

See: https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-node.js/blob/develop/Library/EnvelopeFactory.ts#L83

This makes the timeline view of dependencies for requests show dependencies occurring before the start time of the request.

This would be awesome to get fixed - it makes tying the relationship between requests and dependencies near impossible as the times are simply not accurate! See below for an example where I have tracked express middleware as dependencies and the request apparently occurs after the middleware which are called as a result of the request! 😄

For anyone still having this issue, I've found a way to use it properly if you are using trackRequest (might work for other methods but I haven't check)

You can pass the variable time (JS Date) in the trackRequest method which will be used at the start time of the request on app-insights.
