In the context of per frame controls I believe it is easier to think
about what needs to be done for a specific sequence number.

So (assuming a max sensor delay of 2) the actions would be:

- delayedControls.push(n) stores the controls that shall be active on
  frame n
- delayedControls.get(n) returns these controls again
- delayedControls.apply(n) applies the slowest control for frame n and
  does a look back on other controls. So when a frameStart for frame n
occurs, it is time to call delayedControls.apply(n + maxDelay)

Changing these semantics on delayed controls doesn't require much code
change and has the added benefit that we don't run in to clamping for
get() on frames < maxDelay.

ToDo: This breaks the delayed controls test at the moment. The tests
need to be fixed and other pipelines need to be adjusted accordingly.
