Handle insufficient DOS timer precision by measuring a 100 ms delay instead of a 100 us delay. This should reduce the likelihood of flashrom timer complaints from 100% to 50%. If you want less complaints, use 1000 ms instead. This is mostly a proof of concept and I'd appreciate tests.
Once I know which #defines to look for on MinGW and Cygwin, I can modify the #if to cover them as well.
