[fpc-pascal] TFPTimer wtih timer_create

[Fabio Luis Girardi]

Hi again!

I'm still fighting with timers on Linux, and due a lot of "problems" using
timer_create and signals on Lazarus, I decided to change my implementation
to to user timerfd_create. My current question is: TApplication has some
mechanism that check periodically changes in a file descriptor?
