TimerScheduler class abstract

A scheduler for managing timers within an actor.

TimerScheduler provides methods to schedule messages to be sent to an actor at specific times or intervals. Timers are bound to the actor's lifecycle and are automatically cancelled when the actor is stopped or restarted.

Each timer is identified by a key, and starting a new timer with an existing key will cancel the previous timer with that key.
