Mir has no knowledge of stages. That is a concept which exists at the
higher level in Unity8. However Mir's form factor enumeration would
probably need a new entry still. And an API for Unity8 to set it.
Before we go wedging something called "staged" into Mir though, please
try to consider a generalised approach that is a superset of the Unity8
design. Since Mir should support other shells. What we call "staged"
might be called "tiled" in Mir for example.
So we need a design, but before that we need to be more confident that
any change in Mir is really required at all.

Implement Screen::GetShellMode()

Bug description:
This is currently just a stub that returns NonWindowed on mobile
devices and Windowed everywhere else. It needs to be more intelligent
than that (eg, Windowed on a tablet device) and needs to be dynamic,
but I don't think there's a way for us to do that yet.
Basically, we need to know whether the shell is in windowed or staged
mode. The display's form factor isn't particularly relevant.
This is needed to complete bug 1545088 and others.
