Age fallback using origin_server_ts instead of 0 (#3839)

* Age fallback using origin_server_ts instead of 0

Signed-off-by: Timo K <toger5@hotmail.de>

* use getMsUntilExpiry for isExpired

Signed-off-by: Timo K <toger5@hotmail.de>

* fix tests
tests now also rely on localTimestamp. So this need to be mocked as well

* fix another test that now also depends on localTimestamp

* make things simpler by calculating localTimestamp
from getLocalAge
