Rendering the Secure Keyboard Input overlay using innerShadow() can
strain the resources of the main thread, leading to elevated CPU load
and in some cases extended disruptions to the main thread's
DispatchQueue that result in lag or frozen frames. This change achieves
the same animated visual effect with ~35% lower CPU usage and resolves
most or all of the terminal rendering issues associated with the
overlay.

This only works on macOS 15 because it uses the new `pointerStyle` API.
I don't have the interest to backport this to older macOS versions but
I'm happy to accept a PR if someone else wants to do it.
