Mouse support

The idea is to have the mouse position in the window / "screen" scaled 0..&FFFF be the values returned by the first two A2D channels with the two mouse buttons being the two fire buttons.
This would allow the mouse to be used as a paddle for some games and an analogue joystick for things like basic drawing packages which worked with the analogue joystick.

A further option may be to support AMX style mice, but this is tricky, as the input is basically X+=1, X-=1, Y+=1 or Y-=1 which is OK if the mouse is hidden and locked to the emulator window as it can be re-positioned to the middle after each movement is captured, but not great for WIMP environment where you can't then use the mouse.
This feature maybe better reserved for a stand-a-lone emulator with full screen emulation.

You have this working already for touch-screen emulation. E.g. for https://bbc.godbolt.org/?autoboot&disc=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/39mclkwmu1j4gj1/Microvitec-Touchtec-501.ssd?dl=0 - Just a quick line to say, please don't drop this brilliant functionality. :)

Thanks, Matt. I'll take a look into this. Hoping to get buried into the BBC Micro educational bit early next year. Did a bit on MAVIS this year which just slightly predates the BBC Micro: https://www.oneswitch.org.uk/art.php?id=318 Best wishes, Barrie
