Do not show activity switcher during fast switches

Summary

When using the keyboard global shortcut to switch quickly between
two activities, it does not make sense to start showing the activity
switcher, as it does not have time to show completely and just
flickers on the left side.

This patch modifies the timing when the activity switcher is shown
and when the activity is actually switched. It makes switching
quickly between two activities snappier. If the user has to search
between more activities, the bottleneck will likely not be the
small delay before showing the activity switcher.

This is the same as KWin does with Alt+Tab, can you check what timeout it uses so we can be consistent here?

Good point.
I had a look, the timeout is set at 90ms by default. But it is configurable (DelayTime), should I try to read the kwin configuration value or can we just go with 90ms ?

Update the timing to match what is used in KWin and Alt-Tab
