The evdev backend has always been excluded from Clutter's API
stability guarantee though in an informal way. This commit makes it
explicit by forcing users to define CLUTTER_ENABLE_COMPOSITOR_API.

It was a bad idea to add it, because clutter events are batched,
so by the time the application processes one, the keyboard state
internally tracked by clutter could be already different.
Instead, apps should use clutter_event_get_state_full()

Add a new callback that is called prior to emitting pointer
motion events and that can modify the new pointer position.
The main purpose is allowing multiscreen apps to prevent the
pointer for entering the dead area that exists when the screens
are not the same size, but it could also used to implement
pointer barriers.
A callback is needed to make sure that the hook is called early
enough and the Clutter state is always consistent.

A wayland compositor needs to have more keyboard state than
ClutterModifierState exposes, so it makes sense for it to use
xkb_state directly. Also, it makes sense for it to provide
it's own keymap, to ensure a consistent view between the compositor
and the wayland clients.

In some cases, applications (or actually, wayland compositors)
don't have the required permissions to access evdev directly, but
can do so with an external helper like weston-launch.
Allow them to do so with a custom callback that replaces the regular
open() path.

Clutter applications using evdev are typically fullscreen applications
associated with a single virtual termainal. When switching away from
the applications associated tty then Clutter should stop managing all
evdev devices and re-probe for devices when the application regains
focus by switching back to the tty. To facilitate this, this patch
adds clutter_evdev_release_devices() and clutter_evdev_reclaim_devices()
functions.
