Re: win32 setitimer implementation

Ok, here's an updated timer.c that fixes these concerns and also adds a
$postgresql$ header to the file.

It also removes the check if value == NULL, since that is now Asserted
instead. And it really should never happen based on the places where
setitimer is used.

The patch stays unchanged, just a new timer.c
