tests: add test for non-integer delay timers.

PR nodejs#8034 came with a test to make sure that timers expiry is based on
monotonic time and not on wall-clock time. However, a bug in the
implementation broke timers with non-integer delays. A fix for this
issue was provided with PR nodejs#8073, but it didn't come with a test.

Because nodejs#8073 fixed a subtle issue that could reappear in the future,
and because the impact of such an issue would be significant, I suggest
adding this test.

The test would timeout after 1 minute if the issue was reproduced.
Otherwise it will run very quickly.

+ * This test makes sure that non-integer timer delays do not make the process

+ * fire).
+ *
+ * We have to set at least several timers with a non-integer delay to
+ * reproduce the issue. Sometimes, a timer with a non-integer delay will
+ * expire correctly. 50 timers has always been more than enough to reproduce
+ * it 100%.
