Wolfgang Woehl ddf0d1e8e0 Exit screensaver when mouse moves or clicks (#3723) ...

Turns out there are control codes for tracking mouse actions in xterm-compatible terminal emulators (mind blown).

This patch adds mouse action awareness to our beloved screensaver setup:

- on setup it sends the respective control codes for movement and click detection
- in the main loop it opens up the input reader to read raw bytes and, thus, enable to detect even so much as a mouse's squeak

Personally, I love swiping my trackpad to exit screensaver. But the explicit pressing-a-key to exit is nice, also.

And I don't know if many people have jitter issues with their mouses or trackpads. Reckon, if they had they wouldn't get to see the glory that TTE is anyway, ever :)

This is tested and working in Ghostty. Sorry for the low-effort testing.
