Shivaram Lingamneni f6d2dade4e fix fakelag double-rate issue
Basically, fakelag was counting the time imposed by its own sleeps as though
the user had themselves paused for that amount of time. Therefore, if a user
sent a large number of consecutive commands, every other command would pause
for the expected throttle interval, but the subsequent command would be
processed instantly (you'd get two back-to-back commands). This resulted in
throttled users being able to send at double the expected rate.
