When switching to a custom cursor color, default to the scheme cursor (or foreground) instead of hardcoded white. Matches the render fallback chain used in terminal_box.

Summary
Adds user-configurable cursor settings to COSMIC Terminal: color (scheme or custom), focused/unfocused style (block, beam, underline, hollow block, or follow terminal), and blink behavior with interval.
Addresses pop-os/cosmic-epoch#522 — users can now set a beam (I-beam) cursor in settings instead of relying on the terminal emulator alone.

Cursor fade in/out is also requested in pop-os/cosmic-epoch#603. An experimental implementation lives on my fork in
cursor_options_fade. I am keeping fade out of this PR because it needs a larger rework for block cursors; I would rather land the core cursor options first and follow up separately.Test plan
