The time is stored in a signed 64 bit integer with nanosecond accuracy. This eliminates the possibility of floating-point inaccuracies.
`monotonic_t` can currently hold values large enough to work correctly for more than 200 years into the future.
Using a typedef instead of directly using `int64_t` everywhere will also allow easily changing the datatype in the future should the need arise for more precise or bigger time values.
Also reduce input latency by ignoring repaint_delay when
there is actual pending input.
Gets rid of request_tick_callback(). Now empty events
result in the tick callback being called so there is only a
single mechanism for waking up the main loop and getting
the tick callback called.
