Submit #2921: Allow moused to accept userland mouse events

* Target version: 4.2.x
----------------------------------------
Allow moused to work with sysmouse when the port is a pipe,
 not a real mouse device with working ioctls. Allows simple userland injection
 of mouse events.

Attached is an example that works with the Griffin PowerMate
https://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-NA16029-Multimedia-Controller/dp/B003VWU2WA/

Just run `./scrollwheel.py scroller.fifo` as a user account, and then run `moused -p scroller.fifo -t sysmouse` as root. 

If you press down the wheel, it will multiply scrolls by 32, so you can fly through code like in the movies.
