Godot: Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN) hides cursor even on window chrome
Operating system or device:
Windows 10 Pro x64
Issue description (what happened, and what was expected):
Using Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_HIDDEN) hides the system cursor not only inside the client area where the game is displayed, it also hides it on top of the window chrome / border / frame / non-client area. This makes it hard to hit minimize / maximize / close buttons. Maybe this can be optimized.

Can't reproduce this on Linux X11, so I'll assume it's a bug in the Windows platform code.

I guess the problem resides in the call to the Win32API ShowCursor(p_mode==MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE); which actually hides the cursor globally and not only for the client area.
It seems that for hiding the cursor a call to SetCursor(NULL) must be done. This function also returns the last cursor that was used when called so I guess we can keep it in a variable to restore it later with SetCursor(old_cursor).
I do not know how this will behave in fullscreen.

EDIT: as per this it seems that setcursor must be done inside the window message loop.
EDIT2: what I think we should do is to actually use the OS_Windows::WndProc loop to hide and show it with this case. I am thinking on a solutions. As soon as I come up with one I will keep you posted.
