Send updates with a fixed interval
This redesigns the old "deferred updates" mechanism in to a frame
clock that governs how often updates are sent out. The goal is still
the same, to aggregate updates and avoid pointless updates, all in
the name of efficiency. This model should however be more robust
against delays that sometimes causes us to miss the desired rate.
