* Register an interval with the timer manager. The timer manager

* calls the specified callback. This is persistent across application

* @param id
* An id that identifies the interval, used for persistence
* @param callback
* A nsITimerCallback object that is notified when the interval
* expires
* @param interval
* The length of time, in seconds, of the interval
*
* Note: to avoid having to instantiate a component to call registerTimer
* the component can intead register an update-timer category with comma
* separated values as a single string representing the timer as follows.
*
* _xpcom_categories: [{ category: "update-timer",
* value: "contractID," +
* "method," +
* "id," +
* "preference," +
* "interval" }],
* the values are as follows
* contractID : the contract ID for the component.
* method : the method used to instantiate the interface. This should be
* either getService or createInstance depending on your
* component.
* id : the id that identifies the interval, used for persistence.
* preference : the preference to for timer interval. This value can be
* optional by specifying an empty string for the value.
* interval : the default interval in seconds for the timer.
