Most input_overlay_deinit calls are replaced with input_overlay_unload, which caches the overlay unless initing/deiniting core or disabling overlays. Loading a cached overlay is done as a swap, intended for osk_toggle.</li>
            <li>INPUT/OVERLAY: Add input_overlay_check_mouse_cursor() to preserve show/hide mouse behavior</li>
            <li>INPUT/OVERLAY: Don't apply input_overlay_show_mouse_cursor in windowed mode (controlled by mouse grab only)</li>
