posix-timers: Add a refcount to struct k_itimer
To cure the SIG_IGN handling for posix interval timers, the preallocated sigqueue needs to be embedded into struct k_itimer to prevent life time races of all sorts. To make that work correctly it needs reference counting so that timer deletion does not free the timer prematuraly when there is a signal queued or delivered concurrently. Add a rcuref to the posix timer part.
