backends/native: Handle triple resolution mouse wheels better

Browse Source 
When a remote desktop user emits a virtual smooth scrolling event, a
smooth scroll event, that is not emulated, is emitted and on occasion
a discrete scroll event, that is emulated, is emitted.
As base for the discrete scrolling event, the smooth scrolling steps
are accumulated.
When the accumulated smooth scrolling steps surpass the
DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP, the discrete scrolling event is emitted.

Currently, mutter uses for DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP the value 10, which is
a terrible value to work with, especially for high resolution mouse
wheels.
When a triple resolution mouse wheel is used, each scrolling step will
have the value 3 1/3.
Three of such events won't however surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP.

To fix this situation, add DBL_EPSILON to the calculation step, when
checking for the discrete scroll event to ensure that 3 smooth scroll
events, with each having the value 3 1/3, emit a discrete scrolling
event.
