Make Timer class available on client side in stead of window.setTimeout

I noticed the Timer class runtime/bin is only available in the dart shell on the server. On the client side one has to use the window.setTimeout function.

Wouldn't it be more intuitive if both environments share the same way of starting a timer? I don't see any reason why the Timer class couldn't be built around window.setTimeout in javascript.

Plus the lib already has a stop watch, a clock, buit none of them allow to trigger a method execution.

It look strange at first

the Scheduler class in GWT is very powerful / flexible - I'd like to see a similar API in dart if possible.

issue #1880 handles moving Timer to dart:core. Only thing left would be removing the following from dart:html...

  window.setTimeout
  window.setInterval
  window.clearTimeout
  window.clearInterval

Also would want to remove these functions from dart:html's WorkerContext interface.

It appears Timer is now in dart:isolate. Please advice if / what we need to do on DOM side.
