    I have pulled this commit out of my ongoing work to add timers to `DoFn`, specifically my branch where I add `DoFnInvoker.invokeOnTimer(<id>, ...)`.
    
    For users, timers will have IDs. This is a step towards that API. I think it is also just better in most ways, especially for being able to delete timers without having to know exactly when it was set for.
    
    Before this change, a timer's ID is its `TimeDomain` + `Instant`. Inlining `TimerData` for this description, I think `setTimer(TimeDomain, Instant)` is OK for setting an anonymous "wake up" as we use it today, while `deleteTimer(TimeDomain, Instant)` should be removed.

    I am curious about runner-specific thoughts if you have any.

    Add setTimer and deleteTimer by ID in TimerInternals
    
    For users, timers will have IDs. This is a step towards
    that API; our current API treats the timer's timestamp
    as its ID, more-or-less. We can leave that API or not. This
    change adds the more general API.
