Reland "cc: Throttle incoming begin frames in scheduler"

This is a reland of 6beef1e6

Removed incorrect DCHECKs that were added in the original change.

Original change's description:
> cc: Throttle incoming begin frames in scheduler
>
> Unlike PostTask from IO thread to compositor thread in Chrome IPC, mojo
> polls for messages on the compositor thread which means it can dequeue a
> large number of begin frame messages after the compositor thread has
> been busy for some time. All but the last begin frame cancels the
> previous begin frame, and is essentially a nop, but it still ticks
> animations. When a page has a large number of animations each begin
> frame can take a long time and push out other tasks such as tile manager
> callbacks stalling the pipeline.
>
> Throttling the begin frames in viz doesn't fully solve the problem
> because we have to allow at least two begin frames in flight for
> pipelining, and so the client can still process two begin frames back to
> back.
>
> Throttling in AsyncLTFS causes issues with LTFS lifetime and ordering
> with respect to other messages.
>
> Saving incoming begin frame in scheduler and posting a task works and
> ensures that only one begin frame is outstanding at any time.
