posix-timers: Remove dead process posix cpu timers caching

Now that we removed dead thread posix cpu timers caching,
lets remove the dead process wide version. This caching
is similar to the per thread version but it should be even
more rare:

* If the process id dead, we are not reading its timers
status from a thread belonging to its group since they
are all dead. So this caching only concern remote process
timers reads. Now posix cpu timers using itimers or timer_settime()
can't do remote process timers anyway so it's not even clear if there
is actually a user for this caching.

* Unlike per thread timers caching, this only applies to
zombies targets. Buried targets' process wide timers return
0 values. But then again, timer_gettime() can't read remote
process timers, so if the process is dead, there can't be
any reader left anyway.

Then again this caching seem to complicate the code for
corner cases that are probably not worth it. So lets get
rid of it.

Also remove the sample snapshot on dying process timer
that is now useless, as suggested by Kosaki.
