Blink: (WebKit apparently still the same)

Note that the two algorithms are just the same now, and that the clamping only happens after a number of iterations through it. If it's an interval, timeout 0 is also disallowed, and the timeout is reset after the code is run.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8095.
Check-in comment: Refactor the timer code to match current practice in WebKit, Gecko, and Blink (the ones whose source I could examine)
