Description of the new feature

Basically the 30 year older and more powerful alternative to #18591 to handle some mouse cursor stuff for SIXEL applications.
(Creating this issue now cause it might get closed due to #19949.)

Some discussion on why to support this including GIF showcase: #18591 (comment) (and following comments).

SGR is not that widely used and if only SGR was supported it would obviously increase the amount of applications that could instead use Locator mode if it was supported.
If Locator mode was supported in such a widely used terminal emulator, a case could be made for other terminal emulators not that widely spread to support it as well, increasing general terminal-ecosystem feature-parity with older VTs.
