Description of the new feature/enhancement

Allows the user to control whether the cursor should blink.

So we can write something like this in profiles.json:

"cursorBlink": false,

to disable cursor blink (like other terminals: iTerm2, Konsole, etc.)

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
