workaround for #3382

On esp32, its possible that two threads (async_tcp, looptask) are sending out JSON via AsyncWebServer in parallel 
- serveJson() responds to json/si, and 
- updateInterfaces() is sending JSON state info using sendDataWs(). 

This workaround uses the INTERFACE_UPDATE_COOLDOWN timer  to delay the second webSocket send command so it does not (usually) interfere with the first.

It looks like the root cause that parts of AsyncWebServer are not thread-safe, and the payloads from a second ->send() call may corrupt the previous one if still being sent out.  The problem should be solved properly in AsyncWebServer, however until that happens, this workaround help to reduce the frequency of errors.
