fix(boot): make the graphical menu mouse opt-in

Add menu-styles.graphical.enable-mouse, which is off by default. Without it, or without a pointing device, the cursor is not drawn and the hint only mentions the keyboard.

+### Graphical Menu
+
+The graphical menu selects entries with the keyboard. The mouse is off by default. To use it, enable it in
+`sprout.toml`. The cursor is only shown when the mouse is enabled and the firmware has a pointing device.

+```toml
+[menu-styles.graphical]
+enable-mouse = true
