timers: Add accounting of non deferrable timers
The code in get_next_timer_interrupt() is suboptimal as it has to run through the cascade to find the next expiring timer. On a completely idle core we should only do that when there is an active timer enqueued and base->next_timer does not give us a fast answer. Add accounting of the active timers to the now consolidated attach/detach code. I deliberately avoided sanity checks because the code is fully symetric and any fiddling with timers w/o using the API functions will lead to cute explosions anyway. ulong is big enough even on 32bit and if we really run into the situation to have more than 1<<32 timers enqueued there, then we are definitely not in a state to go idle and run through that code. This allows us to fix another shortcoming of get_next_timer_interrupt().
