Context: The timer precision of PostDelayedTask() is about to be lowered to include up to 17 ms leeway. In order not to break use cases that require high precision timers, PostDelayedHighPrecisionTask() will continue to have the same precision that PostDelayedTask() has today. webrtc::TaskQueueBase has an enum (kLow, kHigh) to decide which precision to use when calling PostDelayedTaskWithPrecision(). See go/postdelayedtask-precision-in-webrtc for motivation and a table of delayed task use cases in WebRTC that are "high" or "low" precision. Most timers in DCSCTP are believed to only be needing low precision (see table), but the delayed_ack_timer_ of DataTracker[1] is an example of a use case that is likely to break if the timer precision is lowered (if ACK is sent too late, retransmissions may occur). So this is considered a high precision use case. This CL makes it possible to specify the precision of dcsctp::Timer. In a follow-up CL we will update delayed_ack_timer_ to kHigh precision.

How to write code in the api/ directory
Mostly, just follow the regular style guide, but:
- Note that
api/code is not exempt from the “.hand.ccfiles come in pairs” rule, so if you declare something inapi/path/to/foo.h, it should be defined inapi/path/to/foo.cc. - Headers in
api/should, if possible, not#includeheaders outsideapi/. It’s not always possible to avoid this, but be aware that it adds to a small mountain of technical debt that we’re trying to shrink. .ccfiles inapi/, on the other hand, are free to#includeheaders outsideapi/.
That is, the preferred way for api/ code to access non-api/ code is to call
it from a .cc file, so that users of our API headers won’t transitively
#include non-public headers.
For headers in api/ that need to refer to non-public types, forward
declarations are often a lesser evil than including non-public header files. The
usual rules still apply, though.
.cc files in api/ should preferably be kept reasonably small. If a
substantial implementation is needed, consider putting it with our non-public
code, and just call it from the api/ .cc file.
