qemu: add option to disable X grabs
When the mouse pointer enters the qemu window it takes a pointer grab. This doesn't sound too dangerous at first but it turns out that SDL will infinitely busy-loop if it can't get the grab (e.g. if the screen is locked) and the average autobuilder setup's X server will have locked the screen a few minutes after boot. The result is that on many autobuilders apparently random qemu instances (the top-most one under the pointer) will hang during boot. To resolve this add an option (via an environment variable) to never attempt a grab. The default behaviour remains to grab so that everyone else doesn't see any change.

+When the pointer enters the Qemu window it calls SDL_WM_GrabInput, which calls
+XGrabPointer in a busyloop until it returns GrabSuccess. However if there's already
+a pointer grab (screen is locked, a menu is open) then qemu will hang until the
+grab can be taken. In the specific case of a headless X server on an autobuilder, once
+the screensaver has kicked in any qemu instance that appears underneath the
+pointer will hang.
+
+I'm not entirely sure why pointer grabs are required (the documentation
+explicitly says it doesn't do grabs when using a tablet, which we are) so wrap
+them in a conditional that can be set by the autobuilder environment, preserving
+the current grabbing behaviour for everyone else.
