[PATCH] compositor-drm: Add environment variable, WESTON_FORCE_SW_CURSORS to force software cursors

For some video cards, hardware rendered cursors fail to change properly.

Add a variable that users can use for these cards when starting Weston.

Also document in the man page

This time with all the closing parenthesis, and the correct commit message.
