Description

### Issue

WebDriver.IO **moveCursorTo** does not auto-center on element as default

### Issue Details

Current implementation of WebDriver.IO moveCursorTo uses 0,0 as default offsets for x,y coordinates.

In some situations this can cause problems, if hovering actions are implemented on both parent and child element. Having moved the mouse to 0,0 coordinate of the child causes the browser sometimes to trigger hover event of the parent instead of the child at 0,0 coordinate.

### Expected behaviour

Better default behaviour would be to calculate size of the target element and automatically move coursor to the center of this element, instead of the 0,0 corner to improve robustness.

### Environment Details

* CodeceptJS version: 2.4.3
* NodeJS Version: 12.13.0
* Operating System: Windows 10, Chrome 80
* webdriverio
