Tablet Pen Cursor KWin Effect

Custom cursor overlay for pen tablets on KDE Plasma 6 (KWin Wayland).

When you hover your pen over the tablet, this shows a custom cursor (an SVG you can replace). When you touch the pen to the screen, the cursor disappears so it doesn't get in the way.

It also respects app-specific cursors. If an app like Xournal++ sets its own cursor, this won't override it.
