Merge lp:~canonical-platform-qa/unity8/slow-down-scope-swipe into lp:unity8

[Richard Huddie]

Slow down the speed of autopilot helpers used to swipe to a different scope to improve the reliability.

The autopilot helpers used to swipe to a different scope can sometimes fail. The reliability of the swipe operation is improved by slowing down the speed of the swipe.
