Add/improve cursors in timeline view for time measurement #92

It would be very nice to be able to view how long a a signal was in a state. Currently you can mouseover the top timeline labels and see what sample number a transition occurred at (and click to add a marker), but to gather the time a signal was in a state, you'd need to convert between your sample rate frequency and calculate the length by hand. If you could draw cursors and markers on the sample/time axis, this would greatly improve the UX.

I envision this could look something like how oscilloscopes handle cursors and time measurement. See below for reference:

Just discovered there is a "Measure" feature where highlight a region, then right click on it. Sorry, must've missed that in the docs. Maybe the current behavior can still be improved?
