HardwareTimer lacks a function to check if it's running or not

[positron96]

There are functions to pause/resume the timer, but there is no way to check if it's running or not.

Right now one needs to take a HAL structure and check if the required bit is set.

Would be good to have such a function (for the entire timer and maybe for each channel).
