Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Handle hyperlinks earlier, and tabs later

This shouldn't make a difference right now, but it makes it possible to disable
switching tabs when a modal panel is open, but still handle clicks on hyperlinks
in inactive views behind the panel, which is useful.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add an optional ShouldHandleMouseEvent hook

This allows clients to reject clicks, which can be useful for disabling
background views while a modal panel is open. Doing this client-side in a
keybinding handler would not be enough, because it would still set the cursor
position in the clicked view, and it would still handle clicks on tab headers.
