Patch to add SDL_GetDefaultCursor to SDL_mouse

Currently there is no way to get the default mouse cursor, even though it's always stored internally.
There is often reason for switching back to the default after using a custom cursor for a short time, and while it's possible to manually save the default cursor by calling SDL_GetCursor() before any SDL_SetCursor is called, it's not particularly intuitive and makes for slightly messier code.

Adding SDL_GetDefaultCursor is trivial and makes the API more complete in my eyes. Calling SDL_FreeCursor on the default cursor is already handled as an early return by SDL_FreeCursor, so that's not an issue.

I've attached a diff patch to add the function.
