See https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13232; this was introduced in 7dde0c3c31. Apparently, providing a parent for a widget that is not visible makes your new widget visible when the parent is later made visible, in addition to managing the deletion of the widget; the documentation does not specify this (only that if the parent is visible you need to explicitly show it).
The m_checkbox_lock_mouse QCheckBox was only conditionally being added
to the layout, leaving it unmanaged and leaking
Setting the parent will allow it to be managed.
Instead of having a single GUI checkbox for "Always Hide Mouse Cursor",
I have instead opted to use radio buttons so the user can swap between
different states of mouse visibility. "Movement" is the default
behavior, "Never" will hide the mouse cursor the entire time the game is
running, and "Always" will keep the mouse cursor always visible.

Other than the controller settings and JIT debug settings,
these are the only settings which were defined in Java code
but not defined in the new config system in C++. (There are
still a lot of settings that are defined in the new config
system but not yet saveable in the new config system, though.)
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
