Adds methods to the Timer interface to make it easier to work with the Supplier types in the JDK. There is already a method that works with Callable, but since that throws Exception it can be cumbersome to use in code. Methods have also been added for the suppliers with primitive types to avoid boxing.
Overload resolution can be messy with lambdas. To avoid those issues record methods have been added with a different name for each interface. The existing record methods for Callable and Runnable have been deprecated in favor of the more specifically named method.
Fixes #566.
