Key press rate limit

[Danielle Foré]

It seems like Gala will continually spam events as quickly as possible when holding down keys. This is bad because if you hold down super + space for too long it'll toggle slingshot back off.

Rico suggested we should rather be fixing the global key repeat settings. For me, setting the initial delay to 750ms and the interval to 50ms at least makes the panel not crash when the key is repeated and makes it a lot less likely to accidentally repeat. This is up from the default of 500ms and 30ms respectively.

The dconf keys to overwrite would be:
[org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard]
delay: 750
repeat-interval: 50

It does look like we are also already throttling some events, such as super + S for the workspace overview. It might make sense to take a look at that code and apply the same logic here.
