  Description     : hyprland cursor format, library and utilities

>From the README:
"
XCursor sucks, and we still use it today.
 - Scaling of XCursors is horrible
 - XCursor does not support vector cursors
 - XCursor is ridiculously space-inefficient

Hyprcursor fixes all three. It's an efficient cursor theme format that
doesn't suck as much.

### Notable advantages over XCursor
 - Automatic scaling according to a configurable, per-cursor method.
 - Support for SVG cursors
 - Way more space-efficient. As an example, Bibata-XCursor is 44.1MB, while 
it's 6.6MB in hyprcursor.
"

hyprcursor is a new dependency for hyprland[1].

The package would generate a library and a binary utility to convert
xcursor themes to hyprcursor format. The utility has a runtime
dependency on xcur2png[2], which is also not available in Debian.
