Merge pull request #1280 from PepperDash/device-info-messenger

In some cases, multiple device info update events are triggering,
causing the queue to be flooded with multiple unneccessary messages containing the same info.
This clogs the queue and makes it harder for UIs to come online when Essentials restarts,
especially in systems with a lot of NVX devices.

The events are now debounced. If there are no new messages for 1 second, then the MC message
is sent out.
