Added interactive example

[asummers1]

Description

I've added an interactive pointer example to this page, because I think it's one of the more common usages of cursor.

Motivation

Adding a cursor: pointer example makes it quicker for readers to learn about and use this CSS property.

Hi @asummers1, and thank you for your contribution!

I agree that this is a worthy addition — pointer is definitely one of the most commonly used cursor values.

One issue created by your addition is that, in the rendered page, the interactive example choices are now a bit squashed, and a scroll bar is now rendered (you can see this in the generated live preview link). I wondered if you would consider removing another, less commonly-used value choice, maybe grab?
