Screenshot cursor is uncontrollable over RDP #14

From Discord:

I often use MS Remote Desktop to control my PC from my MAC. And when I want to use Clowd to take a screenshot, it's messy, I can't select a portion of the screen, the cursor is stuck on the edges, whatever I want it to go...

The reason for this is almost certainly that we use a fake "gamified" cursor. We do this to support fractional positioning when the canvas is zoomed in. (otherwise we'd have to snap the cursor to real pixels, and it would be moving too fast to be precise).

I suspect we can fix this by using the real windows cursor at zoom=1 and only switching to a fake cursor when zoom > 1. This might also fix another issue reported, where with a high dpi cursor and a high refreshrate display, moving the mouse while pressing PrtScr causes the mouse position to jump to an invalid position.
