Rate Limiting in Javelin

People have asked for a way to slow down Javelin's output multiple times, to support software that cannot handle the default output rate. There is now an initial mechanism to do this; though it will likely change in the future. Firmware's 2025-03-16 and later have this ability, and it'll show up in the Settings Tool too. The pico builds work to these timings already, even with the hacky implementation; so going to leave that as is for now. Get a firmware 2025-03-19 or later for these features + some important fixes recently. Note: The rate limit is the rate that keyboard packets are sent to the computer, not the rate of characters. e.g. A character with a shift will send a shift-press, a letter-press, then a letter release, then shift release.
