ui/spice: Add an option to submit gl_draw requests at fixed rate

In the specific case where the display layer (virtio-gpu) is using
dmabuf, and if remote clients are enabled (-spice gl=on,port=xxxx),
it makes sense to limit the maximum (streaming) rate (refresh rate)
to a fixed value using the GUI refresh timer. Otherwise, the updates
or gl_draw requests would be sent as soon as the Guest submits a new
frame which is not optimal as it would lead to increased network
traffic and wastage of GPU cycles if the frames get dropped.
