Scott Duensing fbf4ed7c40 Fix input lag: add PM_NOYIELD, skip idle GetDC, eliminate redundant renders
PeekMessage without PM_NOYIELD surrenders the timeslice on every empty
queue check (~55ms per yield in Win16).  Adding pm_NoYield keeps the
polling loop hot so keystrokes and serial echoes are processed without
scheduler delays.

FlipToScreen was calling GetDC/ReleaseDC on every loop iteration even
with zero dirty rows.  Added early-exit scan before acquiring a DC.

TickBlink was calling FlipToScreen redundantly (main loop also calls it).
Removed the FlipToScreen from TickBlink and reordered the main loop to
TickBlink (dirty only) then FlipToScreen (single render pass).

Also: removed FBlinkOn := True reset from ParseData (was dirtying the
cursor row on every incoming chunk), added WriteDeferred for parse-only
without render, moved FlipToScreen from private to public, added Show
call before entering the polling loop.
