zephyr/machine_timer: Add machine.Timer class implementation.

danicampora · dpgeorge · commit 3823aeb0f14c · 2025-03-07T21:32:22.000+11:00
Simple `machine.Timer` implementation in-line with the rest of the
MicroPython ports.

Note: Only virtual timers are supported (not linked to any particular
hardware peripheral).

Tested with the nRF5340 and the nRF52840.
