The three constructors have been replaced by a single one with default arguments. Timer::Create(), now redundant, has been removed.
Since the argument has an unsigned type, it cannot be negative.
Since unsigned numbers obey the rules of modular arithmetics, the usual rules of commutativity and associativity of addition apply.
There is no point in trying to detect a millis() rollover event as, per
the rules of modular arithmetics, the subtraction
millis() - LastTime
is rollover safe.
Fixes #4.

This pull request does some cleanup on the Timer module, removing code that has no effect other than making the source longer and harder to read. It also removes the lines intended to detect a
millis()rollover event:These lines are responsible from the issue #4. Besides, they serve no useful purpose, as the test that follows is rollover safe.
