Timer and clock skills should use default timer instead of Dicio internal timer #84

Currently When setting a timer, Dicio internal timer is used.

Expected Use default timer instead. That will allow for the best integration and UX allowing to then use notifications and system integration like button presses to stop the timer. Currently Dicio alarm cannot be stopped (at least in my limited testing or only by closing Dicio, which is rather inconvenient).

Note that there doesn't seem to be a way to edit or cancel timers/alarms set using intents. This means that the skills will be a bit more limited (but will serve their purpose). I agree on switching to using Android intents for setting timers&alarms, as that is also what e.g. Google Assistant does. The current implementation in Dicio is just a proof of concept.
