[mutter] display: (Optionally) delay focus changes in focus-follows-mouse mode

[Florian MÃllner <fmuellner src gnome org>]

commit 59bc5b7975f1f19ebacb520c1c2666c0828d1111

    display: (Optionally) delay focus changes in focus-follows-mouse mode
    
    Moving focus immediately on crossing events as we currently do
    in focus-follows-mouse mode may trigger a lot of unwanted focus
    changes when moving over unrelated windows on the way to a target.
    Those accidental focus changes prevent features like GNOME Shell's
    application menu from working properly and are visually expensive
    since we now use a very distinct style for unfocused windows.
    Instead, delay the actual focus change until the pointer has stopped
    moving.
