Add extra flags to disable throttling behavior.

These flags were added in our internal SDK test infrastructure and they
helped reduce flaky timeout behavior in the past. It's very likely that
these and the --disable-background-timer-throttling flag that's
already here have some overlap, though.

I have not been able to find much documentation about whether they do
overlap, so I was inclined to try to add these by default and
assess the effect in our CI.

Thoughts?

cc @whesse - since you initially added these flags internally. Do you know if they do the same thing as --disable-background-timer-throttling? Maybe the blink flag does, but the other one doesn't?
