Summary: SDL: mouse emulation through cursor keys

Initial Comment:
It would be a good thing to have mouse emulation back
enabled. Because : 

1) for a number of games  it emulates the default behaviour of that games

2) there are a number of cases where there's is no mouse available or  usable in paractical way

For example my kids love to play  puttputt or freddi on tv (myththv) from the sofa on a wireless keyboard. Having a mouse connected to the mediacenter or even a wireless mouse is not an option as there's nowhere to move it on . 

For a number of kids, tapping the keys is also easier than trying to control a mouse pointer. 


The enabling of the emulation could be done on games
where this is the default behaviour in the original
or through a similar mechanism as requested by
feature request 1679819 : Remap joystick buttons via scummvmrc


This feature request was raised as a followup of bug 1687663

thanks
