- tasks are still enqueued without reading the clock
- in order to be resilient against timer thread over-sleeping the tasks
  are passed to the timer thread using an AbstractNodeQueue and the
  wheel itself is now private to the timer thread
- reuse queue Nodes along the way to minimize allocation costs

The problem with the old implementation was that the timer thread could
sleep too long, then wake up and run multiple buckets in quick
succession. Tasks enqueued just before that event could then get
executed basically immediately, i.e. before their allotted time.

io: fix TcpConnection acking empty writes which carry `NoAck(...)` markers
io: change IOException treatment from "fatal error" to "expected during normal operation"

Up to now IOExceptions during reading, writing or connecting were treated as
fatal actor errors, crashing the connection actor and thus producing ERROR
level log messages. This patch treats such exceptions as "expected" during
normal operation and prevents them from crashing the actor. Rather, they are
logged at DEBUG level and the actor is actively and cleanly stopped.
