This has one regression: the basic touch support added by
Carlos Garnacho in 991c85f is now partially reverted, since
we ported to Clutter events for this. We'll need to either
port his changes to Clutter, or restructure event handling
in mutter directly.
Due to changes in gnome-common git, an implicit m4 directory is no
longer created during autogen. The attached patch explicitly and
correctly specifies a macro directory.

Make sure that clutter is at the right minimum version for the API
we use, and that it is built with the right configure flags, by
checking for subpackage .pcs too.

Not only this way we get the right Adwaita cursor as the default
(instead of shipping our own in png format), but we also add
support for all MetaCursors as root cursor (which most important
should allow us to have I-beams in shell entries)

Now that we have a setuid launcher binary, we can make use of
using a private protocol through the socket we're passed at startup.
We also use the new hook in clutter-evdev to ask mutter-launch for
the FDs of the input devices we need, and we emulate the old X
DRM lock with a nested GMainContext without sources.
In the future, mutter-launch will be replaced with the new logind
API currently in development.

To run mutter as a display server, one needs to acquire and
release the DRM master, which is only possible for root, so
we take advantage of weston-launch, a small setuid helper binary
written for the weston project. We import our own slightly
modified copy of it, because weston-launch only launches weston,
for security reasons.
