2018-01-19unstable: Add input-timestamps protocolAlexandros Frantzis
wl_pointer, wl_keyboard and wl_touch events currently use a 32-bit timestamp with millisecond resolution. In some cases, notably latency measurements, this resolution is too coarse to be useful. This protocol provides additional high-resolution timestamps events, which are emitted before the corresponding input event. Each timestamp event contains a high-resolution, and ideally higher-accuracy, version of the 'time' argument of the first subsequent supported input event. Clients that care about high-resolution timestamps just need to keep track of the last timestamp event they receive and associate it with the next supported input event that arrives.
