SETTINGS: add tailRenderInterval (bitburner-official#1107)

currently tails are on a static rerender time of 1000ms
there are ways to force a rerender with ns.moveTail / ns.resizeTail
but i dont know why this shouldnt be a setting set by the player

currently its static set on creation of the tail window but that could be expanded to allow setting it per script
and maybe through a ns function
