Live view: a Desktop view that stays still, and Control to tap on the Frame

The live view gets a second source and a way to use the Frame from it:

- Desktop: the app panel in use in the headset, streamed from its own window
  (x11grab of gamescope's redirected window), so it doesn't move as the
  wearer looks around. A picker shows any other panel, view only.
- Control: on the Desktop view a tap or click lands exactly where you put it;
  drag is a mouse drag, press and hold right-clicks, two fingers scroll, and
  on a computer the mouse, wheel and keyboard work directly. On the headset
  view the view is a trackpad. A text field and key row type from a phone.

Input goes through gamescope's own EIS socket (the way Steam feeds Remote
Play input) with the libei already on the image: ui/frame_touch.py, over
the same long-lived ssh machinery as the keyboard agent, nothing to
install. It reaches the panel that has focus on either X display, which
the KDE Connect route can't. Verified on the Frame and from the iPhone app
in the Simulator.
