Prevent queuing lots of setTypingState

@futurize() is now called with parentheses and can take a max_instances
int argument. This is used for setTypingState to not have more than one
queued calls per room and True/False state and avoids bombing the server
with old ephemeral events after a network loss and reconnection.
