[ANN] VistaCursor now scalable

Hi,

Mike Davis asked about changing the cursor size as he runs Pharo with Windows 10 on a Microsoft Surface
@ 2736 x 1824 dpi. He discussed on Discord and said that all of the display is well scaled, except the mouse
cursor which is too small for him.

As the Windows VM supports larger cursors I added some support to my loadable goodie package "VistaCursor" now.
So there is now a new setting to scale the provided cursors (see screenshots). Either freshly load the package
from catalog or update to "VistaCursors-TorstenBergmann.5" if you want to check this out.

This might be also be useful for presentations.

Have fun
T.

This only partly fixes the problem.
Not all cursors are replaced - e.g. cursor for text selection is sitll tiny.
Also seting has to be changed every time someone switches to another computer or even to another display with different DPI.

I opened an issue in bugtracker (https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20281/Small-cursor-on-high-DPI-displays-in-Windows-10-Creators-Update) some time ago, but nobody has reacted yet.
