Joe Cheng ed8f3b730b Address ("fix" is too strong a word) #1791, #2946: freeze/thaw
1. freezeReactiveValue(input, "x") is called, inside a renderUI
   or in an observer that then calls updateXXXInput
2. Some reactive output tries to access input$x, this takes a
   reactive dependency but throws a (silent) error
3. When the flush cycle ends, it automatically thaws

What's *supposed* to happen next is the client receives the new
UI or updateXXXInput message, which causes input$x to change,
which causes the reactive output to invalidate and re-run, this
time without input$x being frozen.

This works, except when the renderUI or updateXXXInput just so
happens to set input$x to the same value it already is. In this
case, the client would detect the duplicate value and not send
it to the server. Therefore, the reactive output would not be
invalidated, and effectively be "stalled" until the next time it
is invalidated for some other reason.

With this change, freezeReactiveValue(input, "x") has a new side
effect, which is telling the client that the very next update to
input$x should not undergo duplicate checking.
