fix(tui): default mouse capture off in JetBrains JediTerm (#878, #898)

JetBrains' JediTerm — the terminal embedded in PyCharm, IDEA, CLion,
WebStorm, GoLand, etc. — advertises mouse support but forwards SGR
mouse-event escape sequences as raw input characters rather than
interpreting them. Users see the composer auto-fill with garbled
characters when they move the mouse over the TUI window. The
workaround was already a one-flag fix (`--no-mouse-capture` or
`[tui] mouse_capture = false` in config) but discovering it required
finding a maintainer comment on a related issue.

Auto-detect via `TERMINAL_EMULATOR=JetBrains-JediTerm` (the env var
JediTerm sets) and default `mouse_capture` off for that environment,
mirroring the existing Windows handling. Explicit `--mouse-capture`
or `[tui] mouse_capture = true` still wins, so power users who don't
hit the issue can opt back in.

Implementation:
- `default_mouse_capture_enabled` now takes `terminal_emulator: Option<&str>`
  so the function is pure and trivially testable. The CLI entry point
  reads the env var once and passes it through.
- `should_use_mouse_capture` keeps the same public signature; tests
  call `should_use_mouse_capture_with` which takes the env explicitly,
  removing test sensitivity to the host's actual TERMINAL_EMULATOR.
- Match is `eq_ignore_ascii_case` because JetBrains has occasionally
  varied the casing across releases.

Tests:
- 4 new tests covering JetBrains default-off, case-insensitive match,
  CLI override, and config-file override.
- Existing 6 mouse-capture tests retained, all passing.
- `cargo test -p deepseek-tui --bin deepseek-tui --all-features
  terminal_mode_tests --locked` → 10/10 pass.
- `cargo clippy -p deepseek-tui --bins --all-features --locked --
  -D warnings` clean.
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` clean.

Docs in `docs/MODES.md` and `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` updated.

Terminals without OSC 8 support render the plain URL and ignore the escape. Set `false` for terminals that misrender the sequence; selection/clipboard output always strips the escapes.
