[Spice-devel] [spice-gtk] mouse: Fix pointer grabbing in server mode

Trying to click on spice-gtk window while in server mode should result
in a pointer grab. This is currently failing, with the cursor wrapping
to the top left corner of the window instead without being grabbed.
This is caused by unexpected grab-broken event happening, we call
gdk_pointer_grab() on the SpiceDisplay GdkWindow, and then we receive a
grab-broken event coming from the same window, which the code does not
expect (see gtk+ bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769635
).

This commit detects such situations, and ignore the spurious grab-broken
event.
