fix: terminal cursor instead of software-drawn █

Replaced software cursor (draw-text █ every frame) with native terminal
cursor (position-cursor using cursor-move + cursor-style). Terminal handles
blinking natively at 500ms — no redraw needed for cursor updates.

- position-cursor: computed input insertion point from state, calls
  cursor-move + cursor-style (:block :blink t) + cursor-show.
- Called from main loop every frame after (sleep 0.1), outside
  redraw's begin-sync/end-sync. No flicker.
