kernel/timeout: Don't reset imminent timeouts
The logic in z_set_timeout_expiry() missed the case where the ticks
argument could be zero (or lower), which can happen naturally due to
timing/interrupt slop. In those circumstances, it would still try to
reset a timer that was "about to expire at the next tick", which would
run afoul of the drivers' internal decisions about how soon a timer
interrupt could be set, and then get pushed out to the next tick.
Explicitly detect this as an "imminent" predicate to make the logic
clearer.
