timers: Make 'pinned' a timer property

We want to move the timer migration logic from a 'push' to a 'pull' model.

Under the current 'push' model pinned timers are handled via
a runtime API variant: mod_timer_pinned().

The 'pull' model requires us to store the pinned attribute of a timer
in the timer_list structure itself, as a new TIMER_PINNED bit in
timer->flags.

This flag must be set at initialization time and the timer APIs
recognize the flag.

This patch:

 - Implements the new flag and associated new-style initialization
   methods

 - makes mod_timer() recognize new-style pinned timers,

 - and adds some migration helper facility to allow
   step by step conversion of old-style to new-style
   pinned timers.
