This PR removes the home.pointerCursor.<backend>.enable options for each backend in favour of using global options to toggle backend specific cursor configurations. This change was motivated by #3545 and improves integration of home.pointerCursor with other home-manager modules.

I wasn't able to use mkRemovedOptionModule to add warnings for home.pointerCursor.x11.enable and home.pointerCursor.gtk.enable as per #3545 (comment) because mkRemovedOptionModule sets a pseudo option as an option tree via setAttrByPath but part of the attr path (i.e x11.enable and gtk.enable) is inside the submodule which causes a conflict definition error.

I am not really sure how to resolve this error, perhaps using getSubOptions to get an option tree representation to operate on?

The type of home.pointerCursor isn't submodule, it's null or submodule, so this check fails, so the option doesn't get merged into the submodule (even if it did, mkRemovedOptionModule would probably still not work correctly across submodule boundaries).

Ideally we could add imports = [ (mkRemovedOption ["x11" "enable"] "...") ]; to the submodule itself, but that won't work yet because we don't have submodule assertions (or NixOS/nixpkgs#207187). cc @infinisil @roberth

In the meantime, we'll probably have to use the same hack as in xdg-desktop-entries.nix: add an assertions option to the submodule and extract the assertions into the top-level assertions.

I am closing this PR in favor of the approach taken in #3545 which avoids introducing backward incompatibility and the mkRemovedOptionModule issue across submodule boundaries (see the linked PR for more details).
