Daniel van Vugt 6f094bd399 clutter/master-clock-default: Sync timelines to hardware vsync
Previously clutter timelines advanced according to `g_source_get_time`.
But that meant the spatial stepping of animations was visibly sensitive to
any irregularities in the main loop. It also represented a time older [1]
than the intended presentation time of each frame.

Now we instead use `master_clock_get_next_presentation_time`. This ensures
we get the smoothness of hardware vsync as well as being closer to the
actual presentation time.

This means, for example, backends like Xorg that move the hardware cursor
independently of repaints will have their animations more closely matching
the hardware cursor position. So the cursor appears to stick more closely
when dragging windows or on the lock screen etc.

[1] "older" = (refresh_interval - sync_delay) = ~14ms for 60Hz
