docs: Document Timers in Node

[ryanmurakami]

This will track progress on a Documentation Overview of Timers in Node, as suggested in the Docs WG Roadmap for Q1 2016 (#70). Since an understanding of the Event Loop is pretty essential to giving context for timers, I'll be using nodejs/node#4936 as a branching off point to explain how timers work and best usages of the different API functions.

Here are some ideas I have for topics to cover:
Differences between intervalObject and timeoutObject and how they wrap Timer objects
Timer internals, like the linked list structure
... more to add

Any suggestions for topics are appreciated!

Excellent! I've added this issue and your name to the roadmap. Thanks!

Opened a PR for the first draft: nodejs/nodejs.org#718

Also, not really sure if this is the right place to drop this guide? One of the other guides was created as a topic and dropped in node core. Let me know if this isn't the best place. Thanks!

@lordKnighton @stevemao Thanks guys! Also, the event loop guide has been completed & merged as well by @techjeffharris. You can probably remove that line from the Roadmap also.

Cool 🎱 again though, awesome work.
