tty: Permit some TIOCL_SETSEL modes without CAP_SYS_ADMIN

With this, processes without CAP_SYS_ADMIN are able to use TIOCLINUX with
subcode TIOCL_SETSEL, in the selection modes TIOCL_SETPOINTER,
TIOCL_SELCLEAR and TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT.

TIOCL_SETSEL was previously changed to require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, as this IOCTL
let callers change the selection buffer and could be used to simulate
keypresses.  These three TIOCL_SETSEL selection modes, however, are safe to
use, as they do not modify the selection buffer.

This fixes a mouse support regression that affected Emacs (invisible mouse
cursor).
