[mutter] backends/native: Implement support for pointer barriers

[Jasper St. Pierre <jstpierre src gnome org>]

commit db384a656cf635ad0a6650d7e3354ac9271839d4

    backends/native: Implement support for pointer barriers
    
    When running as a dispay server pointer barriers are a server side
    feature and requires no client interaction of any sort. This patch
    implements pointer barriers that can be used when running as a display
    server on the native backend. Running as a display server using the X11
    backend is currently not supported.
