The forwarder read only frame.cursor — the overlay attached to the LAST
EMITTED frame. Mutter's pointer-only buffers update the capture-side cursor
state but are skipped as frames, so between damage frames the forwarder
re-sent a stale snapshot: on-glass the client cursor appeared exactly when
clicking or crossing hover targets (damage) and froze/vanished otherwise —
the same pointer-only-motion gap the Windows IddCx channel fills, which is
why the encode tick already prefers the capturer's LIVE cursor. Publish the
overlay from every dequeued buffer (frames or not) into a shared slot and
implement the Capturer::cursor hook on PortalCapturer.
Host-composite mode on Linux still updates the blended pointer only on
damage frames (no re-encode of a static desktop on cursor motion) — the
regen-on-cursor-change the Windows path has is a follow-up.
