Description

Currently set_mouse_cursor() is in WindowAdapterInternal and MouseCursor is in the internal core crate. Move those to the public API.

@ogoffart suggested possibly using the cursor-icon crate for the enum: https://github.com/rust-windowing/cursor-icon

Research direction
Look for the current implementation of `set mouse cursor()` in `WindowAdapterInternal` and the `MouseCursor` enum in the internal core crate. Determine the public API surface where they should be moved. Evaluate the cursor icon crate for potential replacement of the `MouseCursor` enum. Consider any breaking changes or compatibility issues.
