hyprland: force software cursors to dodge AMD HW cursor stutter

Browse source 
The AMD HW cursor plane needs an atomic KMS commit per move, which on
some setups micro-stutters. Software cursors get drawn every compositor
frame at 190 Hz and frequently feel smoother — well-attested workaround
for the "cursor still floaty on Hyprland" complaint.
