[lwip-members] [patch #7855] Provide alternative timeout implementation

[Simon Goldschmidt]

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #7855 (project lwip):

Without digging too much into the patch again: by now I'd prefer a more
generic approach where stack-internal timers that are all cyclic timers (all
the timeout functions implemented in timers.c are) can be set up really cyclic
by the port (e.g. providing a constant table of cyclic timers to the port at
stack startup).

The rest of the timers (which are one-shot) doesn't care too much for drift, I
guess. Also, if drift was an issue on a specific platform, we could just make
sys_timeout/sys_untimeout overridable.
