Correctly handle hardware / native cursors in anvil

[YaLTeR]

Would it make sense to forward the client cursor up to the winit backend or to the hardware cursor instead of hiding? I don't know how cursors work so maybe they don't work like that.

I don't think winit allows to change the cursor arbitrarily, so we may be out of luck for this one. Maybe we could still do that for the hardware cursor though.

Yes. For winit we cannot easily do this (using wayland-client we could), but for hardware cursors that is the goal.
However for this to work, we would need to render to the cursor plane or scan-out the cursor buffer directly. Neither is easily possible with the current api. So I would post-pone this until another renderer-rework.

The rendering issue however is now fixed with #221, so I am going to close this.
