[Feature] Add an option in Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.FrameworkElementExtensions.Cursor to use the pen/handwriting cursor

Describe the problem

Currently, the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.FrameworkElementExtensions.Cursor extension does not allow using the pen cursor (this cursor here: image ). This would be a very useful option for inking applications, so that they can indicate that clicking and dragging will draw ink where the cursor currently is. If there is an eraser cursor (I can't find a system provided one), that would also be a good option to have as well.

Describe the solution

The solution would be to add the pen cursor as an option here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an option for the pen cursor under Windows.UI.Core.CoreCursorType which seems to be how the Windows Community Toolkit currently achieves this. I am not sure on how else changing the cursor could be achieved or if there is somewhere I can submit feedback to the Windows/UWP team to add that as an option. I do know that it is a built in cursor type in Windows and can be seen in mouse pointer settings: image
