[Bug 372717] [NEW] enh: patch for extra NoCursor option

[Erik Devriendt]

Public bug reported:

In older versions of Vvnc there was an option to switch off the display of the mouse cursor. This option was useful when
using Xvnc to provide a view-only image.
This option is not present anymore in the current version of Xvnc.

Here follows a patch that reimplements that option. Feel free to include it in subsequent versions of Xvnc.
The new option is called 'NoCursor'. The change consists of only 6 lines.

Many thanks.
