MetaVirtualInputDeviceX11 currently doesn't handle smooth scroll events
at all.
So, if a user of the remote desktop API uses smooth scroll events, then
only the wayland backend handles these events.
The user of the remote desktop API however, might not know which
backend is being used and actually the user should not even have to
care about it.
Actual smooth events cannot be emulated in the X11 events.
What can be done however is accumulating smooth events and then when
the accumulated steps surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP value, emit a
discrete scroll event.
So, do exactly that, to make smooth scroll events work when the remote
desktop API is used with the x11 backend.

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
MutterClutterBackendX11, 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.
