OK, I think that "Freestyle" is the appropriate solution here. And that
X11 overrideRedirect windows should equate to Freestyle surfaces which
never receive input focus.

Mir 0.27/1.0 appears to have a new function for creating freestyle
surfaces but I can't find any way to flag that they should not receive
keyboard focus (note: I mean keyboard focus only as these still need to
receive mouse events).

So a correct solution requires more API work in Mir 0.27/1.0 and
possibly related WM logic in MirAL to enforce the "never receives
keyboard focus" flag if set (see comment #16).
