[Bf-compositor] LMB / RMB node select

[Greg Zaal]

Personally I'd choose to drop RMB drag for box selection to allow it for
something else (like connecting a link and shifting the connections when
you replace a link like it used to, for example)

I can understand that it might be nice and quick to do a box selection with
RMB drag, but it is inconsistent and I only noticed it very recently too -
though I haven't yet used it simply because it's such a habit to use B for
box selection.
