bug#74833: 31.0.50; Copy to OS clipboard doesn't work in macOS Terminal.app with xterm-mouse-mode enabled

[Ship Mints]

On mac, mouse reporting defaults to on and I think always has. "By default, each new Terminal window has the Allow Mouse Reporting option selected." Via https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/turn-on-mouse-reporting-trmlc69728a5/mac

What is the default value of "Allow mouse reporting" if you open a new
Terminal.app tab?  If it's ticked, like here, then you see them :-)
Because then you get by default that half-way setup which I'm
complaining about.

Terminal.app is the default terminal on macOS, so it's a bit more
important in this context than others, I think.  And we're talking about
what Terminal.app does by default.
