runtime: improve timers scalability on multi-CPU systems

Use per-P timers, so each P may work with its own timers.

This CL improves performance on multi-CPU systems
in the following cases:

- When serving high number of concurrent connections
  with read/write deadlines set (for instance, highly loaded
  net/http server).

- When using high number of concurrent timers. These timers
  may be implicitly created via context.WithDeadline
  or context.WithTimeout.

Production servers should usually set timeout on connections
and external requests in order to prevent from resource leakage.
