Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.
Why did this exist in the first place? Other than being completely
useless, this even caused some regressions in the past. For example,
there was the case of a laptop exposing its accelerometer as joystick
device, which led to extremely fun things due to the default mappings of
axis movement being mapped to seeking.
I suppose those who really want to use their joystick to control a media
player (???) can configure it as mouse device or so.
playlist-pos is 0-based, but everyone thinks it's 1-based. Stupid crap.
(The "not the same as MPlayer" refers to a playlist manipulation command
that doesn't exist anymore in mpv.)

"#" starts a comment, so the # key needs to be handled specially.
MPlayer has the same issue, but its input.conf is wrong. Or at least I
think it's wrong; looking at the MPlayer code it's doubtful they somehow
special-case and handle this.
