This extends the 'cursor' shell integration feature to support all DECSCUSR cursor shapes (bar, block, underline) with configurable blink styles. Users can now specify `shell-integration-features = cursor:block`, `cursor:underline:steady`, `cursor:bar:blink`, etc. The default remains a bar cursor that respects the cursor-style-blink config (3cfb9d6). For convenience, `cursor:blink` and `cursor:steady` are supported as shortcuts that imply a bar cursor. GHOSTTY_SHELL_FEATURES now passes the DECSCUSR codes directly (e.g. `cursor:5` instead of `cursor:blink`), which simplifies shell script parsing. All shell integrations (bash, fish, zsh, elvish) have been updated to extract and use these codes.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Just gonna throw a red on here because I want to consider the config syntax.
