Carpet/CarpetLib and Carpet/TImers both define a class Timer

Issue #1588 new

Both thorns define classes called Timer. CarpetLib in timestat.hh and Timers in Timer.hh define a class Timer. This is a bit confusing.

    CarpetLib's class should be renamed e.g. to FastTimer. This class uses low-latency timers that can be used to time even short pieces of code where regular Cactus timers are much too slow.

    In the long run, there should be a way to disable the expensive Cactus timers (getrusage and gettimeofday) in some way. Then, CarpetLib's timer class would be obsolete.
