Allow multiple process_record() calls per scan

This is particularly relevant for, e.g., the ergodox EZ and
other keyboards with slow scan rates. Without changing the API or
behavior of individual process_record() calls, we allow a
configuration flag to make multiple calls in a single scan.

This will probably have miniscule effects on non-steno users,
and it's not enabled by default for any keyboards. Added note
about it to ergodox README.

* Allows sending more than one key per scan. By default, only one key event gets
sent via `process_record()` per scan. This has little impact on most typing, but
if you're doing a lot of chords, or your scan rate is slow to begin with, you can
have some delay in processing key events. Each press and release is a separate
event. For a keyboard with 1ms or so scan times, even a very fast typist isn't
going to produce the 500 keystrokes a second needed to actually get more than a
few ms of delay from this. But if you're doing chording on something with 3-4ms
scan times? You probably want this.

You may want to enable QMK_KEYS_PER_SCAN because the Ergodox has a relatively
