First quick and dirty prototype illustrating a fix for the pointer
acceleration issues introduced by libinput in Mir 0.18:
LP: #1524145 and LP: #1522295

This proof-of-concept just uses the native kernel/device motion data,
like Mir 0.17 and prior did. So the mouse cursor is smooth and
consistent again.

This is not the final answer though, as we would like a solution where
the acceleration is configurable. But it does suffice in resolving the
regressions that libinput brought in Mir 0.18 right now. So the mouse
experience is exactly as it was in Mir 0.17 and earlier.

Make ClientLatency tests less prone to spurious failures (LP: #1509291)
  * Widened the error margin; and
  * Replaced sleeps with precise waits. Fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509291, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522031.

Generalize cross compile support to include the host architecture.
So you can now target amd64 from amd64 and i386 from i386, which is
useful if you need to build with libraries from an older distro:
   cross-compile-chroot.sh -a amd64 -d wily

Note that full cross compiling between amd64 and i386 does not work yet
because the tooling is different compared to all other ports and will
require additional work.

tests: Extract bits of common logic to make NestedServer tests easier to follow.

Don't use memcheck on the ClientLatency acceptance test. Because
valgrind is too slow to adequately emulate the multi-process performance
we're testing for and will cause failures.

This is a kind of workaround for LP: #1522031 which itself probably
won't and shouldn't be "fixed". This is also a small step toward beginning
to resolve LP: #1524209. Fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522031, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524209.

MirKeyEvent is the same as MirKeyboardEvent why have two names for the same thing. Use MirKeyboardEvent since its the one in the public API.
