0c8326646a Expand mouse support
Until now mouse support existed just as side effect of muxing and that
mouse clicks are registered as key events. This expands the support for
mouse wheel and movement.

caps2esc - transforming the most useless key ever in the most useful one
usage: caps2esc [-h] [-m mode] [-t delay]
options:
-h show this message and exit
-t delay used for key sequences (default: 20000 microseconds)
-m mode 0: default
- caps as esc/ctrl

2: useful on 60% layouts

`caps2esc` is an [_Interception Tools_][interception-tools] plugin. A suggested
`udevmon` job configuration is:
```yaml
- JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
- JOB: intercept -g $DEVNODE | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE
DEVICE:
EVENTS:
EV_KEY: [KEY_CAPSLOCK, KEY_ESC]

## Mouse button support
After _Interception Tools_ 0.3, `caps2esc` can work with mouse clicks. An
example configuration taken from my laptop:
```yaml
SHELL: [zsh, -c]
---
- JOB: mux -c caps2esc
- JOB:
- intercept -g $DEVNODE | mux -o caps2esc
- mux -i caps2esc | caps2esc | uinput -d $DEVNODE
DEVICE:

- JOB:
- intercept $DEVNODE | mux -o caps2esc
DEVICE:
LINK: /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-event-mouse
```
For more information on the topic, check the [_Interception Tools_
README][interception-tools] about usage of the `mux` tool and device specific
setups.
## Installation
I'm maintaining an Archlinux package on AUR:
It's available from [community](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/interception-caps2esc/):
- <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/interception-caps2esc>
```
$ pacman -S interception-caps2esc
```
I don't use Ubuntu and recommend Archlinux instead, as it provides the AUR, so I
don't maintain PPAs. For more information on Ubuntu/Debian installation check

I can't recall when I started using CAPSLOCK as both ESC and CTRL but it has
been quite some time already. It started when I was on OS X where it was quite
easy to achieve using the [Karabiner][], which already provides an option to
turn CTRL into CTRL/ESC (which can be coupled with OS X system settings that
turn CTRL into ESC/CTRL (which can be coupled with OS X system settings that
turn CAPSLOCK into CTRL).
Moving on, permanently making Linux my home, I searched and tweaked a similar
