Fix waitable timer

[LeonarddeR]

Link to issue number:

Fixes #18949 

Summary of the issue:

Braille display drivers that use a waitable timer to reset the waiting for acknowledgement packets timer currently raise errors.

Description of user facing changes:

NO longer errors.

Description of developer facing changes:

None

Description of development approach:

When calling setWaitableTimer, cast the APC to type PTIMERAPCROUTINE. While PTIMERAPCROUTINE requires more parameters than PAPCFUNC, we always used a PAPCFUNC instance in the past without problems.

Testing strategy:

• Test str from Continuous errors with Braille on latest Alpha with Handy Tech driver #18949 

Known issues with pull request:

None
