feat(ScriptAPI): timeout & interval

[MukjepScarlet]

Note: body of callback will be always executed on the main thread (render thread).
example:

const id = setTimeout(() => {
    Client.displayChatMessage("1111");
}, 5000);

clearTimeout(id);

Note: the Kotlin auto-generated FunctionN interfaces don't have @FunctionalInterface annotation, so it can't be cast by Polyglot.

In my opinion this is a very bad API feature to provide. We are using JS in a game environment, where we have functions run over and over, where unlike in a browser environment we would actually need timeout to e.g. wait X seconds after a button was pressed.

Because we have update functions here, people would accidentally use this function without remembering the consequences, which are that when they start a timeout, on the next tick another timeout will start, essentially stacking multiple timeouts and the only solution to this is to add another if check of a lock variable.

add a sequence api? (like a sequence event handler)
