typeString (and other keyboard functions) ignore setKeyboardDelay and type slowly

Expected Behavior

typeString should type at the correct speed

Current Behavior

typeString types at a very slow, inconsistent speed

Possible Solution

Using XFlush instead of XSync at https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs/blob/master/src/keypress.c#L25

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

robot.setKeyboardDelay(5);
console.time("type");
robot.typeString("This is a test");
console.timeEnd("type");
type: 2.776s

Context

I was just testing it and this happened

I will test the change I recommended locally, and maybe submit a PR if it works.
