Jonas Dreßler f13a6145fd magnifier: Properly hide the second (real) cursor
The magnifier uses a PointerWatcher (which is based on a simple timeout
source) to update the zoom region based on the current mouse cursor
position 60 times a second. When updating the zoom region, it would also
hide mutters cursor using meta_cursor_tracker_set_pointer_visible().

Since a few months, mutter has decoupled the handling of input events
from the monitor refresh rate though, which means it's no longer
guaranteed that the cursor changes only 60 times a second (on higher
refresh rate monitors it actually never was). This means mutter might
show the cursor more often than 60 times a second, while we hide it only
60 times a second, leading to a flickering second cursor.

To fix this, implement the cursor-hiding by listening to
MetaCursorTrackers visibility-changed signal, and immediately hiding the
cursor again when it's shown.
