Evdev interface has been available for many years and by now everyone
is switched to using it, so let's stop offering /dev/input/mouseN
and /dev/psaux by default.

Hi! There is one exception: gpm. Without /dev/input/mice it did not work
correctly and IIRC gpm daemon is only one present in linux distributions
for mouse support in linux console mode (ctrl+alt+f1). Disabling
/dev/input/mice by default will lead to broken or non-working gpm.
