Feature description

Currently, the TimersManager class waits for timers to be ready using the following code

timers_cv_.wait_for(lock, time_to_sleep.value(), [this]() {return timers_updated_;});

This will always sleep using the system clock, even if the "time to sleep" was computed from a timer using the ROS clock

We should take into account the clock type when deciding how to sleep, and use an API that is aware of ROS clock
