Oleksandr Pavlyk d63a2761eb Implement Timer, and support State.exec(fn, timer=True) (#364)
* Add type annotations for future functionality

```python
class Timer:
    def start(self) -> None: ...
    def stop(self) -> None: ...
```

and overloaded `State.exec` so:

  - normal mode accepts `Callable[[Launch], None]`
  - `timer=True` accepts `Callable[[Launch, Timer], None]`

No implementation yet. Type annotation checked with

```

* Implement cuda.bench.Timer object

The Timer class is not user-constructible. It exposes two nullary
methods timer.start() and timer.stop().

The instance of Timer class would be provided to launchable object
passed to State.exec with timer=True.

* Implement support for State.exec( launch_fn, timer=True)

* Change type annotation for batch to default to None

None is interpreted as `not timer`, i.e., it effectively
defaults to True (as before) for usage without timer set,
but starts defaulting to `False` is `timer=True` is set.

The batched keyword type is `bool | None`.

* Implement default batched=None behavior

API allows one to specify all 3 keywords, sync, batched,
and timer. batched is None by default, run-time interpreted
as `(not timer)`.

* Update tests for new behavior of batched/time combination

* Add python/examples/exec_tag_timer.py

* Expand Timer class and methods docstrings

* Reworked python/example/exec_tag_timer.py to align with C++ example.

* Replace ::cuda::std::name with cuda::std::name

* Resolve review feedback
