Title:
  should display hotplug be the only trigger for going in and out of
  windowed mode

Bug description:
  Currently on nexus4 vivid+o + silo0  we have 2 triggers for going in and out of windowed mode use
  1) BT mouse
  2) hotplug slimport

  Should we continue with this? or limit the windowed mode to only hotplug of the hdmi ?
  certainly the windowed mode feels odd when on the local phone screen( as in the case of BT mouse only)
  using the local screen for windowed mode causes issues like bug 1438465 & bug 1473572 & bug 1488852

  UX Solution:
  1. If a monitor and a mouse is connected then windowed mode should be enabled. 
  2. If a pointer device (a mouse) is connected then windowed mode should be enabled. 
  3. If a monitor is connected with no pointer device connected then windowed mode should not be enabled as a user will not be able to do much without a pointer device.
