Andrea Giammarchi 7e39bfb9d4 Standard timers - fix for #4384 (#4389)
Specifications define timers capable of accepting optional parameters.

This PR goal is to standardize such behavior in NativeScript too.

Timer module. Functions also can be availble in the global context if you require globals module.

    require("globals");

	setTimeout(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);

	var id = setTimeout(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);
	...
	clearTimeout(id);

	setInterval(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);

	var intervalId = setInterval(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);
	...
	clearInterval(intervalId)

OR

    var timer = require("timer");

	timer.setTimeout(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);

	var id = timer.setTimeout(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);
	...
	timer.clearTimeout(id);

	timer.setInterval(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);

	var intervalId = timer.setInterval(function(){ log("Test"); }, 2000);
	...
	timer.clearInterval(intervalId)

The second parameter for setTimeout and setInterval is optional with default value of 0.
