Extend gpm-mouse-mode's doc string and doc to point out limitations.
* lisp/t-mouse.el (gpm-mouse-mode): Extend doc string to indicate the
inability to transfer text between Emacs and other programs which use GPM.
* doc/emacs/frames.texi (Text-Only Mouse): Note the inability to transfer text
between Emacs and other progrmas which use GPM.
