clutter/frame-clock: Evenly space updates when presentation times are zero

This is for the Nvidia-X11 driver where `last_presentation_time_us` is
always zero. Other drivers should be unaffected.

The existing `calculate_next_update_time_us` algorithm only provides a
guarantee of not scheduling faster than the refresh rate in the presence
of a valid `last_presentation_time_us`. When `last_presentation_time_us`
is zero there is no solid foundation to guarantee we're not occasionally
scheduling too early. So introduce one now.

By introducing a hard guarantee that updates are never scheduled faster
than the refresh rate, we avoid keeping Nvidia's triple (or quad?) buffer
queue full. So this avoids the high latency and random stalls experienced
on Nvidia.
