Allow Option key to be modifier for non-char key and mouse events |

Mac users, especially those of us with a non-US keyboard, need the Option keys
for entering various characters, and thus set 'ns-alternate-modifier' to nil,
or use 'ns-right-alternate-modifier' to employ only one of them for this
purpose. However, this prevents use of that key as modifier for function keys
(arrows, backspace etc) or mouse actions.
This patch adds the variable 'ns-alternate-modifier-char-entry' which, when
non-nil, inhibits the Option key translation to Emacs modifiers for character
keys but allows it for any other event. For example, setting
(setq ns-alternate-modifier 'super)
(setq ns-alternate-modifier-char-entry t)
makes Option act as Super with function keys and mouse clicks, but retains the
standard macOS semantics for character entry (for example, Option + p = π).

Right you are, 'of' it is then.

Thank you, fixed. I'm not used to writing in that dialect.
Pushed to master.
