Fix input starvation issues on resource-constrained devices. (Avaloni…

…aUI#15137)

* Use 0.2 seconds for input starvation cutoff.

1 second was too long when running on resource-constrained devices.

* Allow input starvation code to run.

Using `ScheduleRender(true)` here prevented the input starvation code from running.

* Add DispatcherOptions.

And allow setting the input starvation timeout there.
