widescreen: draw creatures across the whole view; HUD: copy the cursor per thread

- Creatures were culled beyond 1024+200 x 768+200 screen pixels (cmp 4C8h /
  3C8h in both object passes): invisible in the right part of a wide view,
  and the player too once the centre passed 1224. The bounds follow the
  render size now.
- Centre immediates written as negatives (-200h / -180h), missed before:
  the row renderer's static object origin (0x62babb) and aiming at the
  cursor (0x4fb620).
- HUD: moved windows no longer shift the shared mouse cursor object; the
  cursor accessor (0x6550f0) hands them a per-thread shifted copy and writes
  back what they changed. World input on other threads read the shifted
  position now and then, which made hold-to-move jerky.
