Add a flag to hide the cursor in hyprpicker #65

Resolves hyprwm/contrib#92

I know that the flag itself seems unnecessary/unfitting for this project, but considering that a good chunk of users use hyprpicker solely for "freezing" their monitors, I see this as necessary.

Because, without this (in the case of grimblast), the user's actual mouse cursor isn't captured in their screenshots. Instead, a part of a crosshair cursor is shown in the corner of their screenshot (when taking a screenshot of a region).

Requested changes: When the flag is passed,

  • Capture and show the user's original cursor (captured before running hyprpicker) as well in hyprpicker.
  • Hide the user's current cursor (the crosshair shown when the user moves around their mouse in hyprpicker).

I'm open to create a PR if maintainers aren't opposed to this proposal.
