Add an option to draw the player cursor manually.
Set use_fake_player_cursor = true to use this. This allows defaulting the cursor to off, which means less cursor blinking say when travelling. This patch also moves the cursor control closer to where it's used, so that the cursor is only turned on for actual input prompts. I've definitely missed some prompts here: almost anything that prompts for a single character and reads it using getch() will not have a cursor with use_fake_player_cursor set at the moment.
