(Forcing Redisplay): Add redisplay-preemption-period.

71324:52c2a53933f8

  Emacs redisplay normally stops if input arrives, and does not happen
at all if input is available before it starts.  Most of the time, this
is exactly what you want.  However, you can prevent preemption by
binding @code{redisplay-dont-pause} to a non-@code{nil} value.

@tindex redisplay-dont-pause
@defvar redisplay-dont-pause
If this variable is non-@code{nil}, pending input does not
prevent or halt redisplay; redisplay occurs, and finishes,

@tindex redisplay-preemption-period
@defvar redisplay-preemption-period
This variable controls how often Emacs checks for new input during
redisplay.  The default setting is to check for input every 0.1
seconds after redislpay has started.  If input arrives, redisplay
stops, and all available input is processed before redisplay starts over.
  If this variable is set to @code{nil}, redisplay--once started--is never
preempted by input.

@emph{Note} that this variable is only available if Emacs is built
with support for sub-second timers.
