Alexander Boettcher	439315d918	timer: Don't set default cap as custom cap ... Without the patch the signal cap was ever transferred to the timer session when a usleep/msleep was called, even when unneeded. On base-nova this causes the allocation of new capability indexes which are not freed up. So the timer service run quickly out of indexes and get out of order...

Norman Feske	3049c1004c	Turn 'Timer::Session' into asynchronous interface ... The 'Timer::Session::msleep' function is one of the last occurrences of long-blocking RPC calls. Synchronous blocking RPC interfaces turned out to be constant source of trouble and code complexity. I.e., a timer client that also wants to respond to non-timer events was forced to be a multi-threaded process. This patch replaces the blocking 'msleep' call by a mechanism for programming timeouts and receiving wakeup signals in an asynchronous fashion. Thereby signals originating from the timer can be handled along with signals from other signal sources by a single thread. The changed interface has been tested on Linux, L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA, L4ka::Pistachio, Codezero, Fiasco.OC, and hw_pbxa9. Furthermore, this patch adds the timer test to autopilot.
