delay regression after update to v7

[Azbesciak]

Describe the bug

Delay operator does not delay for the given time after some threshold. For shorter values like 12 hours, it works well.

Expected behavior

delay is the same as expected

Reproduction code

import {of} from "rxjs";
import {delay, tap} from "rxjs/operators";

 let start: number;
  of(null).pipe(
    tap(() => {
      console.log("ASSIGNED");
      start = new Date().getTime();
    }),
    delay(63158404179),
  )
    .subscribe(() => console.log("DELAYED", new Date().getTime() - start));

// result like DELAYED 965

Since rxjs uses native browser runtime's timer, the maximum allowed value was always same for any time related operator. see #3015 for dupe, which was having same beahavior since v5.

Not really, I have tested it on my previous 6.7 version and it did not finished "so fast". Of course, I did not wait 2 years, but it behaved in a different way. This is a regression.
