SDL: Use CreateIconFromResource() for all cursors (#14285)

Subject: [PATCH] Use CreateIconFromResource() for all cursors (#14285)

This allows us to properly adjust the size for DPI scaling and both static and animated cursors have consistent behavior.

Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/14281
