eventdev: introduce event timer adapter
Event devices can be coupled with various components to provide
new event sources by using event adapters. The event timer adapter
is one such adapter; it bridges event devices and timer mechanisms.
This library extends the event-driven programming model by
introducing a new type of event that represents a timer expiration,
and it provides APIs with which adapters can be created or destroyed
and event timers can be armed and canceled.
