Export both FZF_IDLE_TIME and FZF_IDLE_TIME_MS

Seconds is more ergonomic for shell threshold checks; milliseconds
covers sub-second every() bindings. Exporting both lets the same
script pick whichever resolution matches its every() interval.

 - Timer-driven `every(N)` event for `--bind`, where `N` is seconds (fractional, floored to `0.01`). Ticks that overlap an in-flight action are coalesced, so a slow `reload` cannot accumulate a backlog.
-- New `FZF_IDLE_MS` environment variable (milliseconds since the last user activity) exported to child processes. Pair with `every(N)` to build idle-based behavior such as auto-accept or auto-quit (#1211).
