libell 0.69: Add support for getting remaining microseconds left on a timer

Summary

The Embedded Linux* Library (ELL) provides core, low-level functionality for

system daemons. It typically has no dependencies other than the Linux kernel, C

standard library, and libdl (for dynamic linking). While ELL is designed to be

efficient and compact enough for use on embedded Linux platforms, it is not

limited to resource-constrained systems.
