This cannot be made to work reliably. Some factoids:
- Internal devices may be connected via USB.
- The ACPI spec provides the _PLD (Physical location of device) hook to
determine how is an USB device connected, with an anecdotal success
rate. Internal devices may be seen as external and vice-versa, there is
also an "unknown" value that is widely used.
- There may be non-USB keyboards, the old "AT Translated Set 2 Keyboard"
interface does not change on hotplugging.
- Libinput has an internal series of quirks to classify keyboards as
internal of external, also with an "unknown" value.
These heuristics are kinda hopeless to get right by our own hand. Drop
this external keyboard detection in the hope that there will be something
more deterministic to rely on in the future (e.g. the libinput quirks
made available to us directly or indirectly).

Add API to ClutterSeat that allows inhibiting the unsetting of the
pointer focus surface. This can be useful for drawing custom cursor
textures like the magnifier of gnome-shell does.
In the future this API should also control unsetting of Clutters
focus-actor, not just the focus surface, that's not really needed right
now since we never unset the focus-actor anyway.

And the corresponding getter. This property returns FALSE by default
and must be overridden by subclasses. This will allow gnome-shell to
hook up specific behavior that should not happen on mouse+keyboard
setups.
