[PATCH weston 2/2] desktop-shell: Send fewer pings

Currently we can end up sending pings to popups every screen redraw and every
pointer move when they're focused.  Instead let's send a maximum of 1 every 200ms
by letting the ping timer expire before we send another ping.

With the old code I've logged 400+ pings per second on the right click pop-up.
This is easily reproducible with a high refresh rate mouse.
