runtime: reduce Windows timer resolution when idle
Currently Go sets the system-wide timer resolution to 1ms the whole
time it's running. This has negative affects on system performance and
power consumption. Unfortunately, simply reducing the timer resolution
to the default 15ms interferes with several sleeps in the runtime
itself, including sysmon's ability to interrupt goroutines.
This commit takes a hybrid approach: it only reduces the timer
resolution when the Go process is entirely idle. When the process is
idle, nothing needs a high resolution timer. When the process is
non-idle, it's already consuming CPU so it doesn't really matter if
the OS also takes timer interrupts more frequently.
Updates #8687.
