Make libraries works with xterm-mouse-mode.
Change calls from 'read-event' to 'read-key' in libraries expecting mouse events. Do this only when 'xterm-mouse-mode' is enabled. That way those libraries read decoded mouse events instead of the underlying escape sequence. Add a parameter to 'read-key' that avoids running any of the unbound fallbacks in 'read-key-sequence' so the libraries can read mouse button-down events. For backward compatibility purposes, the above logic is contained in a new internal-only function: 'read--potential-mouse-event'. * doc/lispref/commands.texi (Reading One Event): Document new parameter to 'read-key'. Mention that non-character events on terminals need 'read-key'. * lisp/subr.el (read-key-full-map): Add new keymap used by 'read-key'. (read-key): Add new parameter 'fallbacks-disabled' to prevent running any of the unbound fallbacks normally run by 'read-key-sequence'. (read--potential-mouse-event): Add new function that calls 'read-key' or 'read-event' depending on if 'xterm-mouse-mode' is set. * lisp/foldout.el (foldout-mouse-swallow-events): * lisp/isearch.el (isearch-pre-command-hook): * lisp/mouse-drag.el (mouse-drag-throw, mouse-drag-drag): * lisp/mouse.el (mouse-drag-secondary): * lisp/ruler-mode.el (ruler-mode-mouse-grab-any-column) (ruler-mode-mouse-drag-any-column-iteration): * lisp/strokes.el (strokes-read-stroke, strokes-read-complex-stroke): * lisp/textmodes/artist.el (artist-mouse-draw-continously) (artist-mouse-draw-poly, artist-mouse-draw-2points): * lisp/vc/ediff-wind.el (ediff-get-window-by-clicking): * lisp/wid-edit.el (widget-button--check-and-call-button) (widget-button-click): Call 'read--potential-mouse-event' instead of 'read-event'. * lisp/wid-edit.el (widget-key-sequence-read-event): Call 'read-key' with 'fallbacks-disabled' set instead of 'read-event'. Unlike above changes, this is unconditionally applied so it works for function keys too. Apply 'local-function-key-map' instead of 'function-key-map' as that contains the full terminal translations. * lisp/vc/ediff.el (ediff-windows): Use 'display-mouse-p' to check if a mouse is available. * src/lread.c (Fread_event): Recommend 'read-key' in docstring for 'read-event' for non-character events.
