Add a simple form of output rate limiting by counting the number of

certain C0 sequences (linefeeds, backspaces, carriage returns) and if it
exceeds a threshold (current default 50/millisecond), start to redraw
the pane every 100 milliseconds instead of making each change as it
comes. Two configuration options - c0-change-trigger and
c0-change-interval.

This makes tmux much more responsive under very fast output (for example
yes(1) or accidentally cat'ing a large file) but may not be perfect on
all terminals and connections - feedback very welcome, particularly
where this change has a negative rather than positive effect (making it
off by default is a possibility).

After much experimentation based originally on a request Robin Lee
Powell (which ended with a completely different solution), this idea
from discussion with Ailin Nemui.
