Go 1.23 makes two significant changes to the implementation of
[time.Timer] and [time.Ticker].

First, `Timer`s and `Ticker`s that are no longer referred to by the program
become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.
