CURL documentation (https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION.html) explicitly says that the timer should be one-time. We basically have to follow CURL requests for setting, resetting and disarming such timers. Current logic eventually leaves a 1ms repeating timer forever, because CURL assumes it fires once, and may not ask us to remove it explicitly. Also, being used as request timeout trigger, this timer also has no sense to be repeated.

Current logic eventually leaves a 1ms repeating timer forever, because CURL assumes it fires once, and may not ask us to remove it explicitly. Which is bad for app power consumption, I suppose.
