Add details on --whole-window for bindsym

Browse source 
Updates sway.5 to include information on the usage of the `--whole-window` option in the context of the `bindsym` command, which modifies mouse bindings to allow them to operate over the whole window instead of just the titlebar. Also includes the disclaimer about mouse bindings only working over the title bar.

Also fixes the escaping of the `BTN_LEFT` and `BTN_RIGHT` key mention.
Add notes on --border and --exclude-titlebar

Update the flags for bindcode command.

the _--no-warn_ flag.
Mouse buttons can either be specified in the form _button[1-9]_ or by using
the name of the event code (ex _BTN_LEFT_ or _BTN_RIGHT_). For the former
the name of the event code (ex _BTN\_LEFT_ or _BTN\_RIGHT_). For the former
option, the buttons will be mapped to their values in X11 (1=left, 2=middle,
3=right, 4=scroll up, 5=scroll down, 6=scroll left, 7=scroll right, 8=back,
9=forward). For the latter option, you can find the event names using
_libinput debug-events_.
_--whole-window_, _--border_, and _--exclude-titlebar_ are mouse-only options
which affect the region in which the mouse bindings can be triggered. By
default, mouse bindings are only triggered when over the title bar. With the
_--border_ option, the border of the window will be included in this region.
With the _--whole-window_ option, the cursor can be anywhere over a window
including the title, border, and content. _--exclude-titlebar_ can be used in
conjunction with any other option to specify that the titlebar should be
excluded from the region of consideration.
There is currently, however, no way to execute a mouse binding over a layer
surface (which includes the background of an empty workspace). This behaviour
is carried over from i3.
Example:
```
# Execute firefox when alt, shift, and f are pressed together
bindsym Mod1+Shift+f exec firefox
```
