[calligra/krita-opengl2-rempt] krita: Remove the 3D cursor

[Simon Legrand]

All in all, I think if you decide to create and support such a feature it
has to be as non-intrusive as possible. I can certainly see the use of
having stylus feedback in the cursor, for video tutorials and even for an
accurate cue of what Krita is receiving from you stylus. (ie if debugging a
brush you can be sure that the problem is with your brush preset but not
with your stylus settings).
