Description

changes:

1. Timer::Timer ---> Timer
2. timer id is now the object_id of the action
3. Timer resolution removed, we're always arbitrary precision now
4. I don't see any obvious races [not that i did see any in old impl, though]
5. We're tickless now, so no need to jerk start/stop
6. We should be pretty fast now, wrt old impl
7. reschedule/remove/block now accept nil as an action id (meaning "current")
8. repeatability is ignored for 0-period repeatable timers
9. configure() method superceeds reschedule() [the latter stays as compat]
