Introduce a type representing a span of time. Define our own type because `core::time::Duration` is large and could panic during creation. time::Ktime could be also used for time duration but timestamp and timedelta are different so better to use a new type. i64 is used instead of u64 to represent a span of time; some C drivers uses negative Deltas and i64 is more compatible with Ktime using i64 too (e.g., ktime_[us|ms]_delta() APIs return i64 so we create Delta object without type conversion. i64 is used instead of bindings::ktime_t because when the ktime_t type is used as timestamp, it represents values from 0 to KTIME_MAX, which is different from Delta. as_millis() method isn't used in this patchset. It's planned to be used in Binder driver.
