     Use a pthread-based implementation of Itimer.c on iOS

     Patch from Stephen Blackheath.

     timer_create doesn't exist and setitimer doesn't fire on iOS, so we're
     using a pthreads-based implementation. It may be to do with
     interference with the signals of the debugger. Revisit. See #7723.
