posix-timers: Introduce /proc/PID/timers file

Currently kernel doesn't provide any API for getting info about what
posix timers are configured by processes. It's implied, that a process
which configured some timers, knows what it did. However, for external
tools it's impossible to get this information. In particular, this is
critical for checkpoint-restore project to have this info.

Introduce a per-pid proc file with information about posix
timers. Since these timers are shared between threads, this file is
present on tgid level only, no such thing in tid subdirs.

The file format is expected to be the "/proc/<pid>/smaps"-like,
i.e. each timer will occupy seveal lines to allow for future
extending.

Each new timer entry starts with the

ID: <number>

line which is added by this patch.
