Sohny Bohny 28efb48257 Implement basic mouse receiver

## Summary

A basic mouse receiver implementation. You can now control your Android Device remotely which might be useful when it's connected to a bigger screen (via HDMI).

Unfortunately Android does not provide moving mouse by software (other than adb and without root). Therefore this implementation uses Android [AccessibilityService](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService) to create an ImageView Overlay as mouse pointer and simulate touch gestures.
This is quite hacky but I think the best way to do so.

## Demo
Here is a small demo
