Description

Using the xterm-style sequences for "cnorm" and "civis" we should be able to show or hide the cursor on the console.

It turns out that I have an application which can benefit from this.

We have been running with this change (combined with 13921 and 13922) in RackTop's shipping product for around a year. We have a text mode installer and configuration utility that makes significant use of these capabilties.
