Instead of calculating an even interval based upon the length of the buffer and the batchtime, instead pass along movement offsets as part of the message, and replay these offsets as part of the dispensing. This ensures you get a more accurate representation of cursor movements. The first offset is also 0, which removes the slight delay that was present in the original implementation, since the calculated interval was always the same. Since we are immediately invoking the all the data in the buffer to create the timeouts, we can simplify the code to always just use whatever data is present in the buffer as the gate to whether we should call `emitFromBatch()`. This means we can remove the logic related to `handlerRunning`. Due to the way we are immediately processing the buffer, it means we cannot test in the same way we did previously, so tests have been amended to accomodate this.
