Handling adopted thread death with active timers on Symbian

Timers are thread local objects on Symbian. When the adopted thread
monitor tries to tidy up a thread, any existing qt timers will be
cleaned up. But that has to be done very carefully without touching the
underlying symbian timer objects.

Checks are added to make sure the Symbian timers are only touched in
the correct thread.
