The filtering of cursor commands depending on server/mouse mode is
already done in spice-server in
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice/tree/server/cursor-channel.c#n438
so I don't think we need to know too much about client/server mode in
the guest driver. Maybe some VGA/QXL distinction will be needed to avoid
some VGA-specific issues, but when using QXL, removing EnablePointer()
altogether should do the right thing both in client and server mode (did
not test).
