GNOME Assistive Technologies need to be able to synthesize mouse events. Use cases:
* Perform a mouse button click for users who cannot use a physical mouse
* Route the mouse pointer to an object or element to trigger its hover action

The Orca screen reader currently provides these commands via calls to AT-SPI2's atspi_generate_mouse_event() which in turn calls spi_dec_x11_generate_mouse_event() [1]. The equivalent functionality is needed for Wayland environments.

How are we going to accomplish this?
