enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 0290bf7285 fix(clients/windows): hide the local cursor while captured
set_locked() hid the OS cursor with a one-shot ShowCursor(false), but the
WinUI content island answers WM_SETCURSOR and re-asserts the arrow on every
pointer move, so the cursor reappeared the instant the mouse moved while the
pointer lock was engaged. A low-level mouse hook never sees WM_SETCURSOR, so
it couldn't suppress it.

Subclass the WinUI window and all its descendants (the video is a composition
SwapChainPanel, so the pointer actually sits over WinUI's internal input-site
child, which is the window that receives WM_SETCURSOR) and, while the lock
wants the cursor hidden, answer WM_SETCURSOR ourselves with SetCursor(None)
and return TRUE — halting WinUI's arrow re-assertion. ShowCursor(false) stays
as the coarse first-frame hide. The subclass is removed on teardown so the
reused app window (host list) is left pristine.

Adds the Win32_UI_Shell feature for the subclassing APIs.
