tw_timer_expire_timers() - add a maximum to the number of expiration per call
The idea is to prevent a huge processing burst if, say, the network goes down 10' for some reason, and so that we don't need to expire 1M timer sessions on the first call. The maximum is not an exact value, but a value after which the expiration process is postponed until the next call. That way, we don't have to process the same tick twice, nor to unlink timers once at a time when processing a tick. The fact that a timer slot could contain many entries should be dealt with by changing the number of ticks per second.
