timer: send_after / cancel_timer message-delivery substrate

Add a cancellable message-delivery timer on the existing timer.rs min-heap,
the substrate the gen_server time idioms (idle/receive timeout, periodic tick,
debounce/backoff) need.

- Reason::Send { fire }: a type-erased delivery thunk. send_after (Pid<A>, via
  send_to) and send_after_named (Name<M>, via send) capture dest+msg and
  resolve the address on fire, not at arm time, so a dead target / restarted
  name is observed when it fires; a failed resolve or closed inbox is dropped
  (Erlang erlang:send_after semantics).
- Cancellation via an "armed" set keyed on the entry seq, exposed as an opaque
  TimerId. Only Send timers use it; Sleep/WaitTimeout keep their inert-stale
  behaviour untouched. pop_due fires a Send only while still armed and removes
  it, so cancel returns true iff it landed before the fire (the race signal).
  cancel is unscoped: any holder of the id can cancel (e.g. racing two servers
  and cancelling the slow path).
- peek_deadline contract documented as "<= true next deadline" so a future
  hierarchical timing wheel can back Timers without touching send_after or the
  scheduler idle path. call_timeout left on recv_timeout (blast radius).

Tests: Timers-level (fire/cancel/race/clear/ordering) plus scheduler-level
delivery for both Name<M> and Pid<A>, cancel-prevents-delivery, and silent
drop on unresolved name / dead pid. Green on rq-mutex/rq-mpmc/rq-striped.

// send_after / cancel_timer — message-delivery timers (Erlang send_after).

// Arm a timer that delivers `msg` to an address after `after`, returning a
// `TimerId`. The destination is resolved *on fire*, not at arm time: a
// `Pid<A>` that has since died yields `SendError::Dead`, a `Name<M>` resolves
// to whoever currently holds it (so a restarted server is reached). Either way
// a failed resolve / closed inbox is dropped, matching `erlang:send_after`.
// `cancel_timer` prevents an as-yet-unfired delivery; it returns whether the
// timer was still armed.
