Implement faster System.Timeout.timeout for the threaded RTS.
The basic idea is to use the Timer Manager rather than spawning an
auxilliary thread to handle timeouts; this was proposed by Bas van
Dijk
two years ago (#4963), and recently by Herbert Valerio. The key idea
to make this work is to spawn an auxilliary thread for the delivery
of the Timeout exception. This idea as well as most of the code is due
to Akio Takano.
