 Review comment:
   So if I understand this correctly, the `PriorityQueue` causes the timers in 
the incoming bundle to be fired in timestamp order. That's good. And then if 
any timer is set that would already be eligible for firing, it ends processing 
and pushes the rest back. I think this is not optimal, because you could add 
timer updates to the priority queue and keep firing any eligible timer. The 
bundle only needs to end when there are no more eligible timers. But on the 
other hand, I do think it fixes the problem, so happy to merge it.

>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: runner-direct
>    Affects Versions: 2.13.0
>            Reporter: Jan Lukavský
>            Assignee: Jan Lukavský
>            Priority: Major
>          Time Spent: 10h 20m
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Let's suppose we have the following situation:
>  - statful ParDo with two timers - timerA and timerB
>  - timerA is set for window.maxTimestamp() + 1
>  - timerB is set anywhere between <windowStart, windowEnd), let's denote that 
> timerB.timestamp
>  - input watermark moves to BoundedWindow.TIMESTAMP_MAX_VALUE
> Then the order of timers is as follows (correct):
>  - timerB
>  - timerA
> But, if timerB sets another timer (say for timerB.timestamp + 1), then the 
> order of timers will be:
>  - timerB (timerB.timestamp)
>  - timerA (BoundedWindow.TIMESTAMP_MAX_VALUE)
>  - timerB (timerB.timestamp + 1)
> Which is not ordered by timestamp. The reason for this is that when the input 
> watermark update is evaluated, the WatermarkManager,extractFiredTimers() will 
> produce both timerA and timerB. That would be correct, but when timerB sets 
> another timer, that breaks this.
