Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
moving.

We currently sync the number of workspaces with the corresponding
preference. This is not really useful with GNOME Shell's dynamic
handling of workspaces, not least as the setting is effectively
ignored. Worse, it will trigger writes to dconf on login, slowing
down startup, so add a setting to indicate that workspaces are managed
dynamically and really ignore the num-workspaces setting when set.

Move preferences to GSettings, using mainly shared schemas from
gsettings-desktop-schemas.
Unlike GConf, GSettings support is not optional, as Gio is already
a hard dependency of GTK+.
