monitor: Simplify event throttling



The event throttling state machine is hard to understand.  I'm not
sure it's entirely correct.  Rewrite it in a more straightforward
manner:

State 1: No event sent recently (less than evconf->rate ns ago)

    Invariant: evstate->timer is not pending, evstate->qdict is null

    On event: send event, arm timer, goto state 2

State 2: Event sent recently, no additional event being delayed

    Invariant: evstate->timer is pending, evstate->qdict is null

    On event: store it in evstate->qdict, goto state 3

    On timer: goto state 1

State 3: Event sent recently, additional event being delayed

    Invariant: evstate->timer is pending, evstate->qdict is non-null

    On event: store it in evstate->qdict, goto state 3

    On timer: send evstate->qdict, clear evstate->qdict,
              arm timer, goto state 2
