Follow up from #6337

Spec'd in #6151

Currently, the terminal always draws the cursor on top of text. #6337 is going to change the Terminal to always draw the cursor underneath the text. Before we release a build with #6337 in it, we should add a setting to allow users to return to the current behavior.

For the record, the workaround is use "cursorShape": "vintage", "cursorHeight": 100.

This is blocked on the spec being approved over in #6151, so I'm gonna move it to 2.0.
