 * Active timers are stored in a TimerHeap.  It is a partially ordered
 * array.  Each element i is the child of element i/2 (rounded down),
 * and a child never elapses before its parent.  The result is that
 * element 0, the top of the heap, is always the first timer to
 * elapse.  The heap is kept in this partial order by all operations on
 * it.  Maintaining a partial order is much cheaper than maintaining
 * a sorted list.
 * The array will be resized as needed.  The size field is the number
 * of elements for which space is reserved, and the len field is the
 * number of elements actually used.  The elements used will always be
 * at tab[0] through tab[len-1].
