TETRAEDGE: Add ScummVM option to hide hotspots

Description
The original Windows version of Syberia was made in the Virtools engine. One of the major differences between that version and the Tetraedge version that ScummVM supports is that hotspots are not visible in the Virtools version (see for instance this let's play), but are visible in the Tetraedge versions.
I'd like to request a ScummVM option to hide hotspots. I assume this will be a dropdown with options named something like the following:
- Always show all hotspots (default)
- Show all hotspots on keypress
- Hide all hotspots
The first behavior matches the original Tetraedge behavior, the last option matches the original Virtools behavior, and the middle option would be a new option that reflects what is offered by many games similar to Syberia (e.g. Secret Files).

FWIW a rough walkaround to get hotspot markers completely off/on:
Hide all hotspots: even with the game running, rename the folder Contents\Resources\menus\Markers to anything like Markerz, leave the current scene in the game - the hotspot markers won't be visible and won't appear even on mouseover in the next scene you visit
Restore all hotspot markers: rename the folder back to Markers - the hotspot markers will be back with the next change of scene
