Only grab the mouse buttons that need to be grabbed. (#2290)

This is a followup to #2049. While we had fixed that bug by only grabbing
buttons 4 and 5 if there is a whole-window binding for that button, this
did not consider buttons higher than 5 as found on many mice.

Therefore, we now ditch the special handling for scrollwheel buttons and
instead do the same for all buttons higher than 3.

fixes #2271
