Event is such an overloaded and generic term (event logger, *kernel*
event logger, "protocol" events in other subsystems, etc.), that it is
confusing for the name an object. Events are kinda like signals, but not
exactly, so we chose not to name them 'signals' to prevent further
confusion. "Alerts" felt like a good fit, since they are used to "alert"
an application that something of significance should be addressed and
because an "alert handler" can be proactively registered with an alert.

Revises documentation for the kernel clocks to align it
with the actual behavior of the unified kernel.
Revises documentation for the kernel timer object type
to provide users with a more compact and intuitive API
that supports (directly or indirectly) the capabilities
of the now defunct microkernel timer and nanokernel
timer object types.
Note: A separate commit will be used to implement the
revised timer API described here.
