Viewport: Moved OverlayDrawList to be a per-viewport instead of being global + fix overlay clipping glitch during viewport creation frame + support for software mouse cursor stradding over multiple viewport. The overlay draw list move is rather important as draw lists are not shared among viewports anymore and we can do a swap of their data without copying it. (#1542)

  Q: How can I use the drawing facilities without an ImGui window? (using ImDrawList API)
  A: - You can create a dummy window. Call SetNextWindowBgAlpha(0.0f), call Begin() with NoTitleBar|NoResize|NoMove|NoScrollbar|NoSavedSettings|NoInputs flags. 
       Then you can retrieve the ImDrawList* via GetWindowDrawList() and draw to it in any way you like.
-    - You can call ImGui::GetOverlayDrawList() and use this draw list to display contents over every other imgui windows.
+    - You can call ImGui::GetOverlayDrawList() and use this draw list to display contents over every other imgui windows (1 overlay per viewport).
     - You can create your own ImDrawList instance. You'll need to initialize them ImGui::GetDrawListSharedData(), or create your own ImDrawListSharedData.
