[BRLTTY] The Baum driver should *NOT* claim a TSI display!

Yes.

I don't think PowerBrailles are being developed any more. Our thinking,
however, should always allow for such a possibility.

I like this approach. If we're all in agreement then I'll make the change,
which would be that the Baum driver would continue to check for emulation modes
if USB is bieng used but would only check for the native Baum protocol if
serial or Bluetooth is being used.
