Allow mouse selection override using ShiftMask

Similar to xterm or urxvt holding shift before selecting text with the mouse
allows to override copying text. For example in tmux with "mode-mouse on" or
vim (compiled with --with-x), mc, htop, etc.

forceselmod in config.h sets the modifier to use this mode, by default
ShiftMask.
