bootparam.7: Remove crufty "Mouse drivers" options 

[Part of a general change to remove cruft from this page.]
Much of the detail on device-driver specifics in this page dates
from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in
man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these
devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) Arguably, this
kind of detail should never have been placed in a man page to
begin with, since devices come and go. Remove such text, and
where appropriate and possible add pointers to files in the
kernel Documentation/ directory.

.SS Mouse drivers
.TP
.B "'bmouse=irq'"
The busmouse driver accepts only one parameter, that being the
hardware IRQ value to be used.
.TP
.B "'msmouse=irq'"
And precisely the same is true for the msmouse driver.
.TP
.B "ATARI mouse setup"
Syntax:
.in +4n
.nf
atamouse=threshold[,y-threshold]
.fi
.in
.IP
If only one argument is given, it is used for both
x-threshold and y-threshold.
Otherwise, the first argument
is the x-threshold, and the second the y-threshold.
These values must lie between 1 and 20 (inclusive); the default is 2.
