Link to timer example in helper libraries docs is 404

In the “But how do I…” section of the Helper Libraries documentation, under Use a timer, the Python section refers you to timer_example.py.

When the link is clicked, Github returns a page not found/404 notice.

Looks like the time_example.py does not exist any more as it was split into several more exmaple files.
Check the content of the directory: https://github.com/openhab-scripters/openhab-helper-libraries/tree/master/Script%20Examples/Python
there are 6 files starting with timer_example now

I added several more timer examples, but I still need to push the pages, along with a LOT of documentation updates. As mentioned, check the example timer files. When using timers, I definitely suggest using the ScriptExecution.createTimer method, rather than the native Jython threading.Timer.
