Not reporting an accurate terminal cursor can break accessibility tools like screen reader or braille displays. Windows like lists that implement a custom highlighting without updating the term cursor can now correctly position the cursor without changing the graphical output.

This is a breaking change but adding a default implementation for hide_term_cursor that just returns false proved to be annoying when adapting iamb to this change. Because a lot of window types will use some sort of forwarding of all calls to inner types, all involved types need an explicit implementation of this function.
