Yes, I think it won't hurt to add checking the `isUsingCustomRawKeyedState`
flag to the snapshot path of legacy raw keyed state timers.
As of now, if users are already using raw keyed state, snapshotting the
timers (in the case of RocksDB + heap-based timers) would have already failed
with `IOException("Key group X already registered!")`.
Additionally checking `isUsingCustomRawKeyedState` on the snapshot path
gives us the opportunity to throw with a more meaningful error message.

UnsupportedOperationException() when operator with isUsingCustomRawKeyedState()
is trying to register a timer?
Not quite sure about this. Registering timers should work regardless of the
`isUsingCustomRawKeyedState` IF the user is not using the RocksDB + heap-based
timers configuration. Technically, it is possible to do this check in the
`InternalTimerServiceImpl`, I don't have a strong opinion on this. @banmoy what
do you think?
