Limits the rate kbd events from the vnc server are forwarded to the
guest, so input devices which are typically low-bandwidth can keep
up even on bulky input.

v2: update documentation too.
v3: spell fixes.

+Set keyboard delay, for key down and key up events, in milliseconds.
+Default is 1.  Keyboards are low-bandwidth devices, so this slowdown
+can help the device and guest to keep up and not lose events in case
+events are arriving in bulk.  Possible causes for the latter are flaky
+network connections, or scripts for automated testing.
