// This code tries to achieve an average tick rate as close to interval_ as
// possible.  To do this, it has to deal with a few basic issues:
//   1. PostDelayedTask can delay only at a millisecond granularity. So, 16.666
//   has to posted as 16 or 17.
//   2. A delayed task may come back a bit late (a few ms), or really late
//   (frames later)
//
// The basic idea with this scheduler here is to keep track of where we *want*
// to run in tick_target_. We update this with the exact interval.
//
// Then, when we post our task, we take the floor of (tick_target_ and Now()).
// If we started at now=0, and 60FPs (all times in milliseconds):
//      now=0    target=16.667   PostDelayedTask(16)
//
// When our callback runs, we figure out how far off we were from that goal.
// Because of the flooring operation, and assuming our timer runs exactly when
// it should, this yields:
//      now=16   target=16.667
//
// Since we can't post a 0.667 ms task to get to now=16, we just treat this as a
// tick. Then, we update target to be 33.333. We now post another task based on
// the difference between our target and now:
//      now=16   tick_target=16.667  new_target=33.333   -->
//          PostDelayedTask(floor(33.333 - 16)) --> PostDelayedTask(17)
//
// Over time, with no late tasks, this leads to us posting tasks like this:
//      now=0    tick_target=0       new_target=16.667   -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(16)
//      now=16   tick_target=16.667  new_target=33.333   -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(17)
//      now=33   tick_target=33.333  new_target=50.000   -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(17)
//      now=50   tick_target=50.000  new_target=66.667   -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(16)
//
// We treat delays in tasks differently depending on the amount of delay we
// encounter. Suppose we posted a task with a target=16.667:
//   Case 1: late but not unrecoverably-so
//      now=18 tick_target=16.667
//
//   Case 2: so late we obviously missed the tick
//      now=25.0 tick_target=16.667
//
// We treat the first case as a tick anyway, and assume the delay was unusual.
// Thus, we compute the new_target based on the old timebase:
//      now=18   tick_target=16.667  new_target=33.333   -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(floor(33.333-18)) --> PostDelayedTask(15)
// This brings us back to 18+15 = 33, which was where we would have been if the
// task hadn't been late.
//
// For the really late delay, we we move to the next logical tick. The timebase
// is not reset.
//      now=37   tick_target=16.667  new_target=50.000  -->
//          tick(), PostDelayedTask(floor(50.000-37)) --> PostDelayedTask(13)
