ref(), & unref() return value

We understand you have a problem and are in a hurry, but please provide us with some info to make it much more likely for your issue to be understood, worked on and resolved quickly.

• Lolex version : 2.6.0
• Environment : NodeJS v8.11

What did you expect to happen?
According to NodeJS documentation the ref() and unref() return the timer.
https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/timers.html#timers_timeout_ref

What actually happens
But lolex returns undefined.

How to reproduce

const lolex = require("lolex");
const clock = lolex.install();

const timer = setTimeout(() => {}, 5000).unref();
console.log(timer);
// Prints: undefined

If you comment out the lolex.install() line, it prints the NodeJS Timeout object.

Thank you!

Grep the lolex code for unref and see what it does (or look at the code, it's just a couple of hundred lines in one file). I haven't encountered that before. Maybe we just define the function but no implementation. Wouldn't know, but I do know we accept PRs ;)

yes, I checked the code, only need to change ~2 lines. I'm making a PR.
