We had time unit conversion helpers (e.g. us2ms(), ns2us(), etc) in
multiple places. Clean that up by moving them all to a common file. That
file is clutter-private.h, as it's accessible by both from clutter/ and
src/.

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).

This taps on:
1) Touchscreen availability
2) Availability of external keyboards
3) Tablet mode switch, if existent
So we get this property enabled whenever it makes sense to show touch
focused features (eg. the OSK).

The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.
