[FFe] Add check so we can determine if the Mouse is caught in an endless loop.

[Christopher Lee]

In response to this bug lp:1219636 , where there is an issue that the mouse can be caught trying to move to a position and never make it.

[proposed]
  Adding a checking mechanism that will fail a test if the mouse is caught in an endless loop.

[rationale]
  Will stop bug lp:1219636 from causing the jobs to time out, the test causing this issue will now fail instead. This is important from the point of view of the daily-release process, as it's blocking many stacks - hogging the test machines until jenkins times out (for a long while) or someone from the maintenance team notices it and aborts manually.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Changed priority to Critical, as this bug is blocking daily-releases of many components.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Shouldn't be a problem. FFe approved.
