Add an escape sequence to specify the current console's cursor blink
interval. The interval is specified as a number of milliseconds until
the next cursor display state toggle, from 50 to 65535. /proc/loadavg
did not show a difference with a one msec interval, but the lower
bound is set to 50 msecs since slower hardware wasn't tested.
if they want to be crazy, why not let them ?  it's not like we generally prevent 
the user from destroying their machine.  i.e. just require the value to be > 0 
(unless you want to let 0 disable things).
Because anyone with access to console can do this, and we only allow root
users to destroy the machine.
