Switch to setTimeout

[JoviDeCroock]

This improves the general correctness of DOM-events in Preact, micro-ticks are fired in-between events bubbling up and events firing. This means that when two similar events fire and both are setting state that one will fire set state rerender and then the other one will. Similarly if we fire an event that sets some dom and the ancestor of this eventTarget also has a similar listener after dom manipulation we will bubble up and refire the event....

We could leverage other DOM-techniques like requestIdleCallback but generally this seems to be a lot buggier, the only other thing left would be to write our own scheduler or use the DOM-scheduler API which looks experimental
