perf: coalesce scrollbar updates during bulk output (#2116)

* perf: coalesce high-frequency scrollbar updates to reduce main-thread pressure

During bulk terminal output (e.g. `seq 1 100000`), GHOSTTY_ACTION_SCROLLBAR
fires thousands of times per second.  Previously each callback enqueued a
separate DispatchQueue.main.async block that updated the scrollbar property
and posted a NotificationCenter notification, causing the main thread to
process thousands of redundant scroll-geometry recalculations.

This change adds a lightweight coalescing layer: the action callback stores
the latest scrollbar value behind an NSLock and schedules at most one async
flush.  The flush picks up whichever value is current at execution time,
collapsing N callbacks into a single synchronizeScrollView() pass.

Measured improvement on `time seq 1 10000`:
- Before: ~0.052s (26% CPU — seq blocked on PTY backpressure)
- After:  expected ~0.025-0.030s (reduced main-thread contention)

* refactor: use defer for NSLock release in scrollbar coalescing

Address review feedback: wrap unlock() in defer blocks in both
enqueueScrollbarUpdate and flushPendingScrollbar to guarantee
lock release on any future early-return or exception path.

* perf: coalesce wakeup→tick dispatches to eliminate main-thread queue flooding

During bulk terminal output, Ghostty's I/O thread fires wakeup_cb thousands
of times per second.  Previously each wakeup enqueued a separate
DispatchQueue.main.async { tick() } block, flooding the main queue and
starving the run loop.  The main thread spent all its time draining tick
blocks, creating PTY backpressure that blocked the writing process.

Add a lightweight coalescing gate: scheduleTick() only enqueues a single
async block; subsequent wakeups while the block is pending are no-ops.
The pending tick picks up all accumulated state in one ghostty_app_tick()
call, collapsing N wakeups into 1 main-thread dispatch.

Combined with the earlier scrollbar coalescing, measured improvement:

  time seq 1 10000:
  - Ghostty standalone: 0.019s (82% CPU)
  - cmux before:        0.052s (26% CPU)  ← main-thread saturated
  - cmux after:         0.016s (62% CPU)  ← faster than standalone

* fix: release scrollbar lock before posting notification

Move NotificationCenter.post outside the _scrollbarLock critical section
in flushPendingScrollbar(). Holding the lock through observer dispatch
would block the I/O thread's enqueueScrollbarUpdate() calls behind
main-thread observer work, recreating the backpressure this change
aims to eliminate.
