libplugin: allow freeing in timer callback, clarify docs, allow nested timers.

1. Allow timers to be freed in their callback.
2. Clarify in header that we have to terminate our timer with timer_finished()
   eventually.
3. We don't currently have plugins with more than one outstanding timer, but
   it certainly would be possible, so fix in_timer to be a counter.
