user32/tests: Add mouse SendInput tests when mouse events are captured.
It causes the user32:input conformance test to often send right-click messages to windows that don't belong to it. I have seen this happen on the top-left desktop icon but also more annoyingly on the test's console window.
Right-clicking on the console causes the contextual menu to pop up. On Windows XP and 2003 this blocks all output to the console (but not on Windows 7+). This does not seem to impact user32:input itself but it blocks winetest.exe, preventing it from enforcing the 2 minutes per-test timeout, so that in the end the whole series times out and is lost.
The simplest workaround so far is to iconize the console window but that causes problems for d3d8:device. Another option is to ensure the console is not too close to the top-left edge, but when DirectX tests the display mode changes the console gets moved around and may end up in the danger zone.
