Added interval functionality for type function of pynput.keyboard.Controller().type

[ShobanChiddarth]

Each press and release can be delayed interval seconds if the required delay time is provided in the argument when calling the function.

[XaverKlemenschits]

This would be a useful feature.
I would even suggest to add another parameter to control for how long the button is pressed, as this was a problem I encountered with some not-very-responsive web interfaces. Then users can choose the length of the key press and the time between two separate key strokes.

See https://github.com/Evidlo/passhole/pull/64/files#diff-b60a6055af04b5a093f4c39c708a87d60e3b0f54d14552548e18af445966425fR590-R598 for details on how I proposed to solve this.

Done

Nice work. Perhaps a test should be added?

I really don't know how to do that. I have never used tests in my life.

Basically just modify the test to call type(..., hold=XXX, interval=YYY). This will just test that the arguments work without error, not that the actual delays are working correctly. That may be good enough.

If you want to run the tests:

$ pip install -e .
$ python -m unittest tests/keyboard_controller_tests.py

+================================================+
| This test case is non-interactive, so you must |
| not use the keyboard.                          |
|                                                |
| You must, however, keep this window focused.   |
