SKY: get rid of timer based gfx updates

on most platforms timers are implemented using threads. never ever make
gfx updates from another thread other than the main one. seriously.
replace the whole timer crap in sky with timestamp based updates.
this fixes crashes when OpenGL is enabled (android included).

needs more testing.
