Workaround continuous resizing on Windows/MacOS

On Windows and MacOS, resizing blocks the event loop, so resizing events
are not triggered:
 - <https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2077>
 - <https://stackoverflow.com/a/40693139/1987178>

As a workaround, register an event watcher to render the screen from
another thread.

Since the whole event loop is blocked during resizing, the screen
content is not refreshed (on Windows and MacOS) until resizing ends.
