Enables the control sequence for the cursor shape.
This function enables cursor shape change by cursor change seqnence of DECSCUSR(cursor shape change), WYSTCURM(Wyse no-blinking cursor), WYULCURM(Wyse underlined cursor) and AT&T 610 blinking cursor.

If a user uses the vim editor, write below entries in the ~/.vimrc to enable this feature.
set t_SI=^[[3\ q
set t_EI=^[[1\ q
NOTE: Input ^[ by using Control-V Control-[.
If the cursor periodically blinks after an application exits, a user should configure as follows.
In the ncurses 5.7 terminfo, the invisible(civis)/normal display(cnorm)/highlighting(cvvis) of the xterm cursor are as follows:
civis=\E[?25l
cnorm=\E[?12l\E[?25h
cvvis=\E[?12;25h
When the upper configuration is enabled, the normal cursor displays with the non-blinking mode and the emphasis cursor displays with the blinking mode. So, the cursor does not blink when the terminfo application displays the own cursor.
If a user want to blink the cursor, turn off the CursorCtrlSequence entry or do in the following commands:
% infocmp xterm > xterm.ti
Open the xterm.ti file, change from a value of cnorm and cvvis to \E?25h.
% tic -o ~/.terminfo xterm.ti
Execute the tic command.
# tic xterm.ti
If the configuration is enabled as whole system, execute the upper command with a root user.
