doc: add missing parameter types
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Both of the `clearTimeout()` and `clearInterval()` functions in the
`timers` lib accepts the ID of the `Timeout` object returned by the
functions in a number or string type, e.g.

```js
const t = setTimeout(console.log, 5000, 'test');

clearTimeout(t[Symbol.toPrimitive]());
```
