util/qemu-timer: Make timer_free() imply timer_del()

Browse Source 
Currently timer_free() is a simple wrapper for g_free().  This means
that the timer being freed must not be currently active, as otherwise
QEMU might crash later when the active list is processed and still
has a pointer to freed memory on it.  As a result almost all calls to
timer_free() are preceded by a timer_del() call, as can be seen in
the output of
  git grep -B1 '\<timer_free\>'

This is unfortunate API design as it makes it easy to accidentally
misuse (by forgetting the timer_del()), and the correct use is
annoyingly verbose.

Make timer_free() imply a timer_del().
