They're a dime a dozen. If it gets called exclusively from the
input thread, it got one. Hopefully these breadcrumbs will be
enough so people don't lose their way here.

Don't let the vfuncs (meant to be called from the UI thread) deal with
xkb state itself. Instead store the current state in struct fields, which
is then fetched in vfuncs.
This makes the keymap able to be used from the UI thread, while being
maintained by the input thread. Same caveats apply than
clutter_seat_query_state(), you are asking for the most up-to-date state,
but it still may be changing under your feet.

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.
