    buffer: add short delay before updating matching-brackets
    
    This adds a low-priority gdk timeout to perform the update to
    matching-brackets.
    
    It was discovered, using tests/test-widget, that holding arrow-down or
    arrow-up to scroll while matching-brackets is enabled causes stutters in
    the drawing. When disabling matching-brackets, this goes away.
    
    By adding a short delay, we reduce the number of updates and invalidations
    performed, which keeps us within our deadlines for smooth animations.
    
    The value of 50 was found experimentally, binary searching down from 200
    msec (the gtkscrolledwindow animation default) down to 25msec, which gave
    unacceptable performance.
