Add helper function GetRetainSize()

it will be useful for retain implementations.

use CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME for timer setup

CLOCK_REALTIME is a wall clock, that could change back and forth (user
changes system time, winter/summer time, NTP corrections and so on).
For real-time application CLOCK_MONOTONIC should be used, it doesn't
have such jumps.

Add function example to first_steps example

It'll be used in documentation to show how to create function in
Beremiz.
