Added continuous checks for a physical mouse while streaming rather than just at the start of streaming. This fix is intended for particular situations on the windows platform when using a KVM switch that changes the cursor from a hardware cursor to a virtual cursor causing windows to not detect a physical cursor while streaming.
Description
Changed the previous physical mouse checking:
// If there is no mouse connected, enable Mouse Keys to force the cursor to appear if (!GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEPRESENT))...
to it's own function void enable_mouse_keys();. The function is still called at the end of streaming_will_start() and now in video.cpp to continuously check if a physical mouse is present.
