runtime: don't always adjust timers

Some programs have a lot of timers that they adjust both forward and
backward in time. This can cause a large number of timerModifiedEarlier
timers. In practice these timers are used for I/O deadlines and are
rarely reached. The effect is that the runtime spends a lot of time
in adjusttimers making sure that there are no timerModifiedEarlier
timers, but the effort is wasted because none of the adjusted timers
are near the top of the timer heap anyhow.

Avoid much of this extra work by keeping track of the earliest known
timerModifiedEarlier timer. This lets us skip adjusttimers if we know
that none of the timers will be ready to run anyhow. We will still
eventually run it, when we reach the deadline of the earliest known
timerModifiedEarlier, although in practice that timer has likely
been removed. When we do run adjusttimers, we will reset all of the
timerModifiedEarlier timers, and clear our notion of when we need
to run adjusttimers again.

This effect should be to significantly reduce the number of times we
walk through the timer list in adjusttimers.

Fixes #41699
