The current impl doesn't allow this to be tuned. We will always advertize
the GVNC_ENCODING_RICH_CURSOR, and GVNC_ENCODING_XCURSOR encodings. So if
a server supports cursor offload to the client, we'll always enable it.

To force the cursor to be drawn remotely, we'd need to add another
boolean flag in VncDisplay that stops us advertizing those two
encodings
