Support modifier key to send mouse events to/through xterm.js, not terminal app

[Riebart]

It'd be nice to be able to send mouse events to the process, not the terminal. Selecting tmux panes, scrolling in less, etc... These work in the Windows consoles, so there should be a way to make them work for us too.

I'll note that this doesn't even work in the VSCode terminal, which is my benchmark for xterm.js based terminals on Windows, so... This will likely have to wait until 1809 drops.

Based on some poking around for other reasons, this would likely involve some modifications around here:

FluentTerminal/FluentTerminal.RuntimeComponent/Interfaces/ITerminalEventListener.cs

Line 13 in 14d111c

void OnMouseClick(MouseButton mouseButton, int x, int y, bool hasSelection);

There is not much we can do on our side right now, we are waiting for xtermjs/xterm.js#1536

Are there any plan to fix this issue now that xterm.js supports sending mouse events through?
As @mjs suggests, visual studio code terminal is benchmark for xterm.js on Windows and the support is enabled there now, we should integrate this feature in.

I'd prefer a setting per profile rather than a modifier key, but maybe I'm missing something?

Any progress on this issue?
This is a very important function for using the terminal.
