bootparam.7: Remove crufty "Mouse drivers" options

[Part of a general change to remove cruft from this page.]
Much of the detail on device-driver specifics in this page dates
from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in
man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these
devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) Arguably, this
kind of detail should never have been placed in a man page to
begin with, since devices come and go. Remove such text, and
where appropriate and possible add pointers to files in the
kernel Documentation/ directory.
