As long as we can defer actually sending the mouse tracking escape
sequence until after init file load I think this is fine. All terminals
I've worked with work fine with xterm-mouse-mode's defaults, but since
there's so many different terminals I want to ensure user compatibility
variables still work (currently just xterm-mouse-utf-8, I expect to
create a new one for bug #73469).
Also, I expect this would only be done when the envvar TERM indicates
the user is on an xterm-compatible terminal.
