Switcher (Alt-Tab) does not respect monitor-defined scaling factor

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[Impact]
Unity switcher doesn't get properly scaled on HiDPI monitors.

[Test case]
1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
   different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
2. Open some windows and press Alt+Tab
3. Both Switcher icons, application names and spreaded windows (when pressing down, or
   right-clicking on an icon) decorations should be scaled to match the selected
   scaling factor.
   In Multi-monitor scenario it should match the scaling factor of the monitor where the
   view opens (so where the mouse is).

[Regression potential]The potential of regression is basically none, since we just moved from fixed sizes to relative sizes and unless the scale value is set to an invalid value, this should work as it happens in other unity views that do support scaling currently.

  * TextInput: move the warning icon inside the input field, render it
    white (LP: #1307738)
  * ShutdownView: Scale up the Buttons and Text plus Borders of the

  * Lockscreen warning icon needs a tooltip to say what the warning is
    about! (LP: #1308288)

  * ApplicationLauncherIcon: Focus and, in case, Spread the windows on
    DnD After 1 second that an user is over an icon, that icon should
    focus the relative application and Spread its windows if it has more
    than one opened. Correctly handle the DnD scale in launcher, and
    apply glow to the icon under pointer. (LP: #607796)
  * SwitcherView: use RawPixel's for the size values and convert them to
    match current scaling (LP: #1317348)

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Fix issue where scaling the edge illumination up and down with the
    size of the Launcher icons would cause the illumination border to be
    offset and smaller than the icon. (LP: #1309739)
