Add HTIMER type and change dw_timer_() functions to use it. On existing platforms, HTIMER will be int for now allowing API backward compatibility. On new platforms, iOS and Android, these will be pointers to the timer objects. This allows simplifying the code paths on those platforms. May change it on other platforms such as Mac in a future major version.

-- Special notes for version 3.1 --
Version 2.4 has started a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
