What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
Mutter is an essential component of the default Ubuntu desktop and for the desktop used by Ubuntu Budgie.
A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their desktop version of Ubuntu.
Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.
mutter is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME micro release exception

Other Info
----------
This also includes an update of the triple buffering patch to add one commit to fix a potential crash with resuming from suspend. That triple buffering patch is maintained in a targeted mutter 44 branch by Canonical Desktop engineer Daniel. I was unable to easily reproduce the crash so I didn't include LP: #2020652 in the SRU changelog.
I dropped 2 patches to mark some tests as flaky since mutter seems to build reliably enough on Debian and Ubuntu without those patches.
Upstream assumes that people will be using matching versions of mutter and gnome-shell. To be cautious, I therefore bumped the dependency version in GNOME Shell 44.2 to require mutter >= 44.2 (even though GNOME Shell 44.2 appears to run ok with Mutter 44.1). I believe the only way to make the dependency relationship work the other way (not allow Mutter 44.2 with GNOME Shell 44.1) requires bumping the Breaks version but I don't think it's worth using Breaks unless necessary.
