Fix a race condition in appsrc read/write callbacks

We can't use writable_timer_id as a token because the timeout is added
into libpurple's main event loop, which runs in a different thread than
from where call_appsrc_writable_locked() was called. Consequently, the
callback may run even before purple_timeout_add() returns the timer ID
to us.

The same applies to readable_timer_id in call_appsink_readable_locked().
