Seth Hillbrand fff428dcd6 Add THROTTLE class and DrainPendingEvents
Five call sites independently reimplemented the same
time-gated throttle pattern.  This consolidates them all
into a single THROTTLE class backed by steady_clock.

Three call sites duplicated the wxWidgets YieldFor workaround
for timer-event backlog (wxWidgets issue #26192). This replaces them
with a shared DrainPendingEvents free function.
