By allowing the max timer backoff duration to be limited, a socket can
fast recover in case of intermittent network issues. Before this CL, the
exponential backoff algorithm could result in very long retry durations
(in the order of minutes), when connection has been lost or been flaky
for a long while.
Note that limiting the maximum backoff duration might require
compensating the maximum retransmission limit to avoid closing the
socket prematurely due to reaching the maximum retransmission limit much
faster than previously.

This was caught in an integration test which had stricter assertions
than the FakeTimeout which is used in unit tests, so the first thing was
to add the same assertions to the FakeTimeout.
The issue is that when a Timer triggers, and if it's set to
automatically restart (possibly with an exponential backoff), the
`is_running_` field was set to true while the timer callback was called
to allow the client to know that the timer is in fact running, but the
timer was actually not started until the callback returned. Which made
sense, as the callback can with its return value override the duration,
which should affect the backoff algorithm.
The problem was when a timer was manually started within the callback.
As the Timer itself thought that it was already running, it first would
Stop() the underlying Timeout, then Start(). But calling Stop() on a
timeout that is not running is illegal, which set of assertions.
So the solution is to don't lie; Don't say that a timer is running when
it's not. Make sure that the timer is running when the timer callback is
triggered, which makes it consistent at all times. That may result in
unnecessary timeout invocations (stopping and starting), but that's not
too expensive.

In real life, when a Timeout expires, the caller is supposed to call
DcSctpSocket::HandleTimeout directly, as the Timeout that just expired
is stopped (it just expired), but the Timer still believes it's running.
The system is not in a consistent state.
In tests, all timeouts were evaluated at the same time, which, if two
timeouts expired at the same time, would put them both as "not running",
and with their timers believing they were running. So if you would do
any operation on a timer whose timeout had just expired, the timeout
would assert saying that "you can't stop a stopped timeout" or similar.
This isn't relevant in non-test scenarios.
Solved by expiring timeouts one by one.

Ensuring that timer durations never go beyond a safe maximum duration

To be able to use them type-safely, they should support native
operators (e.g. adding a time and a duration, or subtracting two time
values), as the alternative is to manage them as numbers.
Yes, this makes them behave a bit like absl::Time/absl::Duration.

Timer is a high-level timer (in contrast to the low-level `Timeout`
class). Timers are started and can be stopped or restarted. When a timer
expires, the provided callback will be triggered.
Timers can be configured to do e.g. exponential backoff when they expire
and how many times they should be automatically restarted.
