Added first sketch of a generic retry timer mechanism. The idea is to use

these timer objects in AoE and UDP protocols (where there is no underlying
retransmission mechanism) without requiring each protocol to implement its
own individual retry logic.  Eventually, we should be able to use the same
timer code for TCP retransmissions as well.
