Adapt methods to enable full range absolute time for timer object #241

Description

@lefebvresam

In timer.h some methods are defined to return the absolute time for a timer object. Some of them are depreciated becasue they do not return a data type within the full range:

Note: INFO macro expands to a printf

Timer int_t;
int_t.start();

INFO("Timer: %u ms", int_t.read_ms()); // depreciated
// is implemented as:
INFO("Timer: %u ms", std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::duration<int, std::milli>>(int_t.elapsed_time()).count()); // depreciated

As decribed in time.h there are better options, but not yet incorporated in the code:

INFO("Timer: %llu ms", std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(int_t.elapsed_time()).count()); // 64bit value
INFO("Timer: %llu us", static_cast<long long int>(int_t.elapsed_time().count())); //64bit value
