Allow Timer to count up

[CoreTaxxe]

Describe the project you are working on

Server tools for accurate measurements and validation. IMO server should not rely on delta times for hit/action validation thus I already PR'd an option to make the timer use frames. (It has other use cases as well).

I am not entirely sure how useful that is or if there should be a new node called counter or something along those lines.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

Now if you want to time something without knowing the max time you need to code that yourself which led me to the belief that an option to make the timer count upwards might be beneficial.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

No need to write boring boiler plate code; just check one field and the timer counts up.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Add a checkbox which makes the Timernode count upwards.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Yes.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

Simple and easy to maintain.
