Without doing this, we'd use the same sprite that was last set by
mutter, most likely a leftptr cursor, and fail to update when e.g.
moving the pointer above a text entry and the displayed cursor updated
to a cursor position marker.

On X11 we won't always receive cursor positions, as some other client
might have grabbed the pointer (e.g. for implementing a popup menu). To
make screen casting show a somewhat correct cursor position, we need to
actively poll the X server about the current cursor position.
We only really want to do this when screen casting or taking a
screenshot, so add an API that forces the cursor tracker to track the
cursor position.
On the native backend this is a no-op as we by default always track the
cursor position anyway.
