1. Correct/clarify TimerEvent::insert documentation …

   There was much confusion over the functionality of the original
   `TimerEvent::insert` call which was described as "Set relative timestamp
   of the internal event".
   
   This then extended to my Chrono conversion, meaning the new `insert`
   call is not equivalent.
   
   Clarify the original documentation, correct the deprecation messages,
   and add more notes on conversion.
   
   No functional change, as the new Chrono API makes more sense - it's just
   different from the old API.
   
   Problem actually spotted when I saw the strange code `convert_timestamp`
   was producing for the 32-bit->64-bit timestamp conversion. The caller of
   it was actually making the mistake of issuing
   "TimerEvent::insert(rel_timeout)`, meaning they'd also misunderstood the
   documentation, and were not getting the timeout they expected.
   
   (Chrono would have prevented that mistake as durations and time points
   are incompatible types).
