Rough proposal for a cursor-geometry protocol

Hi!
This has been discussed before, with an XCursor configuration protocol
proposal:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/21
However that approach turned out to be quite complex, and a bit
backwards (back-and-forth and duplicated work in compositors and clients),
and locked us into the XCursor spec (with a trickier evolution to a new
cursor standard).
Instead, we've standardized a protocol to set semantic cursor shapes:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/tree/main/staging/cursor-shape?ref_type=heads
Does that help?
