This adds a checkbox to Monkey Island Sega CD that enable the animated 'wait' cursor when paused.

This cursor was originally used for disc loads, and since ScummVM doesn't have any loading time, I figured it might be nice to have an option to toggle the cursor on for the pause menu instead.

Whoops, I was cleaning up branches and apparently I went a little overboard.

I think we don't need a game option for that cursor. It's a gimmick, so it's a nice surprise for people who pause that version during playing.

I think the only justification I had for adding a check was because it's not exactly 'original' behaviour. I'm happy to remove it, but just want to double check, that I shouldn't put it behind the 'enhancements' gate.

I'd like to keep it as an option until something is figured out about how to actually use it during loading.

Does ScummVM support loading the soundtrack from CD? I only have the extracted data handy, my original disk is in storage. Maybe that could introduce the kind of delays that warrant its appearance.

Either way, I'm even happy if we want to just disable it completely for now, I just liked the idea of having it in ScummVM for completeness.

A cursor is not a hill I'm willing to die on 😂
