lib/timer: Add timer infrastructure
Some sources simply fill the buffers passed by the USB subsystem and return them as quickly as possible. Particularly with compressed formats operating at superspeed this rapidly results in unrealistic frame rates. Add infrastructure that allows us to define a specific framerate and introduce blocking calls that constrain those sources to the framerates expected by the host.
