Anna-Maria Behnsen 1f455f601e timers/Documentation: Cleanup delay/sleep documentation
The documentation which tries to give advices how to properly inserting
delays or sleeps is outdated. The file name is 'timers-howto.rst' which
might be misleading as it is only about delay and sleep mechanisms and not
how to use timers.

Update the documentation by integrating the important parts from the
related function descriptions and move it all into a self explaining file
with the name "delay_sleep_functions.rst".
