feat(settings): add frame skipping option to improve performance

- Added a new setting `frame_skipping` in the settings configuration.
- Provides users the ability to enable or disable frame skipping via the UI.
- Frame skipping helps improve performance by skipping frames when the emulator can't maintain the target frame rate, at the cost of visual fluidity.
- Added descriptive text to explain the setting's purpose and its impact on gameplay.
