When user clicks LMB, one character is selected, but will not be copied
to selection until the user moves cursor a bit. Therefore, the character
should not be highlighted as selected yet.
Before the patch, the trick was not to mark line as dirty to avoid
highlighting it. However, if user has already selected something and
clicks in line that contains selection, selclear sets the line as dirty
and one character is highlighted when it should not.
This patch replaces dirty trick with explicit check for sel.mode inside
selected().
This patch also prevents sel.mode from increasing beyond 2. It is almost
impossible, but sel.mode may overflow if mouse is moved around for too
long while selecting.

Debatable whether an error here should case exit(EXIT_FAILURE). Just
preserving the existing behaviour for now.
Not always is desirable to create a pseudo terminal, and some times
we want to open a terminal emulator over a tty line. With this new
patch is possible to do someting like:
$ st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200
Without this option was needed to launch another terminal emulator
over st (for example minicom, picocom, cu, ...).
ICCCM mandates the use of real timestamps to interact with the
selection, to rule out race conditions if the clients are run at
different speeds. I have implemented the low hanging fruit, putting the
timestamps into text selection. Also, ICCCM mandates a check for whether
XSetSelectionOwner() worked. Not sure my version is correct, though.
tmoveto resets CURSOR_WRAPNEXT.
Simple testcase:
for i in $(seq 1 200); do
printf '\t.';
usleep 100000;
printf '\t@';
usleep 100000;
done
In st executing this script causes @ and . to overwrite each other in
the last column.
XFilterEvent usually filters KeyPress events according to input method.
At this point the window is not mapped. The only events that we process
are ConfigureNotify and MapNotify. They should not be filtered by input
method.
