Summary: SDL_DisplayMode struct should store refresh_rate as a double

To be able to support target phys/sim timestep to be some factor of actual monitor refresh rate (1x, 2x, 0.5x). You can have monitors that are 59.94hz for example (see link below) that will report 59hz here. Not a HUGE deal but it'd be nice to have that precision.
