Engine Timer API

Description:	The Timer API provides functions for accessing the internal engine Timer. In order to keep proper synchronization to external timer specific tasks, the internal timer configuration should be queried. The timer update request should be updated externally for flexibility reasons.
Special notes:	This API should be called before XE_engine_update
