Log: add Timers thorn (required by Carpet)
I apologize for requiring the Timer thorn without due notice.
I was debugging a particular memory allocation problem for about a week, and in the course of this, I cleanup up many stretches of code in Carpet and CarpetLib. I suspected that the timers were at fault, so I isolated the code and added parameters to disable the timers. Alas, the timers were not at fault. However, having the timers separated seemed like a good idea, and instead of throwing away all the clean-ups, or re-implementing the solution anew, I decided to push all clean-ups together with the work-around that avoids the problem.
