EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL: redraw stuff in a single place, with "coalescing"

Redraws can be requested way too often than it is required. This commit adds redraw timeout:
- if the view became dirty and there has been no redraw for longer than certain time, it is redrawed immediately
- otherwise, we wait for the next frame

This in general improves smoothness of rendering.
