Hi all

Retaking my mouse patch, I think we can avoid the need to include
the WSDISPLAY_STIOF ioctl, which writes a character to the active
console.

With the following patch we can get the active console number (i.e.
the one that goes in ttyE?). This feature is already available
using the usl compat, but with this patch we avoid the need to use
the compatibility stuff. Somebody also wanted this feature for
another purpose, can't remember it now.

I've added the new ioctl to ttyE devices, not ttyEcfg. I think this
is ok, though you decide.

The mouse daemon would do the following to paste text using this
feature:
1. Use WSDISPLAY_GETACTIVENO to get active console number.
2. Open /dev/ttyE?, where ? is the value returned before.
3. Call TIOCSTI on the opened file descriptor.
4. Close the file.

What do you think? I think this is a better approach :p

(The patch only contains this feature, not all mouse support)

Thanks.
