Add Smooth Multitouch Interaction

Registered by Cassidy James Blaede

We should add smooth 1:1 multitouch interaction to Slingshot's scrolling/paging behavior. This would require utilizing LibGrip (https://launchpad.net/libgrip) for multitouch.

Now that GTK3 has smooth scrolling, what if we simply allowed the user to scroll horizontally through the pages, then "snapped" to the closest one when the stop scrolling? ~cassidyjames

Seems like a good and easy idea. Only issue is arranging the icons. ~Jacob
