This allows the mouse to be used properly in consoles with different sizes:
before this change it was restricted to the size reported by the console
used to start the daemon.

wait when returning from the X console before reactivating the mouse.
Some systems may require more than the default (or may want less to get
faster response).
allow the selection mode hide the mouse before the device is closed, thus
fixing a minor problem (the pointer remained visible when returning from
X for some seconds).
wrappers for err, errx, warn and warnx respectively when running in foreground

Also add and use an extra log_info function for other types of information.
button events. This mode needs to be explicitly enabled at runtime, and
does nothing if not configured.
As there are now two different modes available, adjust the manpages
accordingly, describing what they do and how they work separatedly.
While here, remove a bunch of unused stuff (event syntax) from config file
parsing. This was initially added with this new mode in mind, but it has
not been used to make it a lot simpler.
described by a structure with pointers to functions.
- Clearly separate the "selection" mode (which provides copy and paste support
in console) from wsmoused's main program.
- Added the "modes" property to the configuration file and the "-m" command
line option to specify which modes should be activated. (this is mostly
useless for now, as only the "selection" mode exists; a new mode will
be added soon, hopefully).
- While here, several style fixes according to share/misc/style.
This file lets users tune the behavior of the daemon in a easy way, without
having to mess with command line options (nor in rc.conf).
It will also simplify future integration of new functionality within the
program as multiple "modes" of operator are recognized.
The new wsmoused.conf(5) manpage contains all related details.
Some error message cleanup and minor manpage fixes too.
