Setting cursor text color via remote control does not work

[yggi49]

Setting the cursor background color via a kitty @ set-colors 'cursor=...' works, but setting its text color does not.

(Screenshot taken with kitty 0.13.1.)

However, at least something happens under the hood, as is obvious when specifying a color that does not exist:

igor@john ~ % kitty @ set-colors 'cursor_text_color=foo'
