Add a warning for Timer nodes with very low wait times 

Very low wait times behave in unpredictable ways depending on the
rendered frame rate. This is because the timeout signal is only emitted
once per rendered frame (or physics frame, depending on the timer's
process mode).

The wait time in seconds.
[b]Note:[/b] Timers can only emit once per rendered frame at most (or once per physics frame if [member process_mode] is [constant TIMER_PROCESS_PHYSICS]). This means very low wait times (lower than 0.05 seconds) will behave in significantly different ways depending on the rendered framerate. For very low wait times, it is recommended to use a process loop in a script instead of using a Timer node.
