I was searching for "urxvt" in the version logs, but it turns out it is
called SGR 1006. That indeed looks like a more compatible mechanism.

So, if we first send DECSET 1005 and then send DECSET 1006 then,
depending on the version of the terminal emulator, we keep getting the
normal mouse codes or the new SGR 1006 mouse codes. We should be able
to decode both.

Note that in ctlseqs.html in the DECSET list 1006 and 1015 are not
documented.
