Add WithDeadlineTimer interface to clock

What this PR does / why we need it:

This is a part of effort to fix kubernetes/kubernetes#125581

WithDeadlineTimer interface extends Clock to add NewDeadlineTimer. NewDeadlineTimer is similar to NewTimer, but it returns a timer which fires at the given timestamp. It makes unit testing easier with FakeClock.Step when a test subject is making a timer inside goroutine (e.g., workqueue.NewDelayingQueue). With NewTimer, in some race conditions, a timer never fire if FakeClock.Step is called after getting the base time Now() and calling NewTimer(). This is because the duration passed to timer is calculated against the old timestamp, but inside FakeClock.NewTimer, the targetTime is calculated against the time adjusted by Step. With NewDeadlineTimer, targetTime is not adjusted, which works around this issue.

Because workqueue.DelayingQueueConfig uses clock.WithTicker and changing it breaks API compatibility, I plan to do type assertion like so to use NewDeadlineTimer if available:
