ENHANCED: time/1 now shows the number of inferences

Example:

    ?- time(member(X, "abc")).
       % CPU time: 0.000s, 1 inference
       X = a
    ;  % CPU time: 0.000s, 3 inferences
       X = b
    ;  % CPU time: 0.000s, 3 inferences
       X = c.

This is an initial step towards addressing #1039.
