feat(timer): implement high-resolution timer with RF2.1 microsecond precision

- Add TimePoint struct for tick-based time representation
- Add Duration struct with conversion methods (ms/us/ns)
- Implement Timer class with start/stop/reset/elapsed/tick methods
- Implement ScopeTimer RAII wrapper for profiler integration
- Add comprehensive TDD test suite (31 tests, all passing)
- Support both running state tracking and accumulated time calculation
- Use std::chrono::high_resolution_clock as foundation
- Update CMakeLists to include Timer implementation and tests

Tests verify:
- TimePoint comparison and arithmetic
- Duration conversion accuracy (microsecond precision)
- Timer lifecycle (start/stop/reset cycles)
- Tick accumulation for frame timing
- ScopeTimer RAII semantics
