[Lynx-dev] Don't open link on left mouse click

Hi lynx-dev,

    Lynx's mouse behavior is pretty sensitive. Left click on a link hightlights 
it, as well as follows it. I tried remapping MOUSE keymap but lynx does not 
allow that. It would be nice to have a config option to specify mouse left 
click behavior (goto a link, but don't follow it), or an ability to remap 
MOUSE. w3m also just selects a link on mouse click. It would be useful to have 
this behavior for multiple reasons, including: while screencasting from a page, 
one can highlight a link by simply clicking on it. 
    
    Clicking around a link does select it without following, but if there are 
many links on a busy webpage it is not possible to click and highlight a link 
that is surrounded by other links on all sides.

    Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.10 (11 Aug 2021)
    libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 1.1.1q, ncurses 6.3.20211021
    Built on darwin21.6.0 (Aug  2 2022 09:37:15).

Best,

Robin
