Add Tablet Touchscreen Support
[GOAL]
Support GUI on tablet touchscreens.
Ubuntu Touch, Android, iOS are targets.
[RATIONALE]
Tablets are reasonable computer replacements in some contexts. Users may expect to be able to monitor and manage on a touch screen.
Demonstrating the GUI on an Ubuntu Touch tablet is good marketing.

Whiteboard
[USER STORIES]
devop wants to monitor environment with smaller footprint, while traveling, in order to increase convenience.
[RISKS]
- tablets have much less computing power than full computers. svgs in particular can be slow. we may have to do a lot of work to support this.
- Ubuntu touch browser is still under heavy development.
[IN SCOPE]
HIGH: Ubuntu touch demo story
LOW: support for all tablets in monitoring.
EVEN LOWER: support for all tablets in actually changing the environment.
