text insertion with middle click over ssh without -X works

problem was set mouse=a, which is default but which needs a gui. GUI is
only available when using ssh -X to connect and sometimes it causes
trouble when using sudo. Deactivated mouse=a in console and replaced it
with mouse=nh which will make the mouse working in help files as usual
and in normal mode, but not in insert mode, where the console should
handle mouse events.
