emscripten-hello: improve mainloop integration

Instead of simply relying on the emscripten mainloop api to wake us up
periodically so that we can poll for SDL events we now pause the
emscripten mainloop whenever no redraw is queued and instead hook an
input event listener into the real browser mainloop to resume the
emscripten mainloop whenever input is received. This way the example
can go to sleep while there's no input to handle.

This provides a simple example of binding custom javascript into native
code.
