This is a test update with the following intentions:

1. Prefer bitmap hardware cursor support over legacy hardware cursor support. -- New accelerants only need to support hardware bitmap cursors, app_server handles the rest.

2. Tell the graphics hardware when we no longer are in hardware cursor mode to prevent corruption.
-- Hopefully this resolves the observed corruption issues with radeon.

Anyone who has some hardware cursor support please test.

There will be more app_server changes related to this, mainly locking changes and refactoring of code related to cursor movement.

If you move the cursor over GL Teapot you lose 40% or so of the performance, which should not happen at all with a hardware cursor, so there is some room for improvement.
