 With #25373 and #25375, we should be using first-class timer objects for
 more and more of our timed events.   We should have a way to mark timers
 that should be disabled when Tor is idle, or when DisableNetwork has been
 set.  Then we should actually disable them, to lower the amount of wakeups
 that Tor performs under those circumstances.
