51a3e49c82 device: Allow updating devices from embedding toolkits
Embedding toolkits most likely will disable the event handling, so all
the input device code will not be executed. Unfortunately, the newly
added synthetic event generation of ENTER and LEAVE event pairs depends
on having input devices.

In order to unbreak things without reintroducing the madness of the
previous code we should allow embedding toolkits to just update the
state of an InputDevice by using the data contained inside the
ClutterEvent. This strategy has two obvious reasons:

  • the embedding toolkit is creating a ClutterEvent by translating
    a toolkit-native event anyway

  • this is exactly what ClutterStage does when processing events

We are, essentially, deferring input device handling to the embedding
toolkits, just like we're deferring event handling to them.

cf4e05930a device: Add the :name property to InputDevice
The InputDevice should have a name, possibly user readable, coming from
the backend.

55e4315aa5 device: Add pointer actor getter
ClutterInputDevice should have a getter method for retrieving the
reactive actor underneath the pointer.

9506510d1c Move all picking-related operations inside InputDevice
The InputDevice objects stores pointer coordinates, state, stage and
the actor under the cursor, so if the current backend provides us with
one attached to the Event structure then we want the InputDevice itself
to update its state and give us the ClutterActor underneath the
pointer's cursor.

d23dd9af6b device: Make InputDevice an object and subclass it for X11
ClutterInputDevice should be a type that we can subclass per-backend
to add functionality.
