Conpty needs to render the on/off state of the cursor

[zadjii-msft]

This is a followup from #1087. I don't render the right state out through conpty, and that means that for tools like apt, the cursor is always on, even when they want it off.

I'm experiencing the same issue as #1461, which redirects to here.

Any update on this?

Here is an example C# code:

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Now you see me!");
            Console.CursorVisible = true;
            Console.ReadLine();
            
            Console.CursorVisible = false;
            Console.WriteLine("Now you don't!");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

In the second image, the cursor is at the very end of the line

Good catch, this we incorrectly marked for Terminal v1.0 when it's really a 20H1 fix.
