timers: cross JS/C++ border less frequently
This removes the `process._needImmediateCallback` property and its semantics of having a 1/0 switch that tells C++ whether immediates are currently scheduled. Instead, a counter keeping track of all immediates is created, that can be increased on `setImmediate()` or decreased when an immediate is run or cleared. This is faster, because rather than reading/writing a C++ getter, this operation can be performed as a direct memory read/write via a typed array. The only C++ call that is left to make is activating the native handles upon creation of the first `Immediate` after the queue is empty. One other (good!) side-effect is that `immediate._destroyed` now reliably tells whether an `immediate` is still scheduled to run or not. Also, as a nice extra, this should make it easier to implement an internal variant of `setImmediate` for C++ that piggybacks off the same mechanism, which should be useful at least for async hooks and HTTP/2.
