[PATCH 05/20] fbconsole: respect hidden cursor everywhere

video_invertchar() unconditionally inverts the cell's color to represent
a cursor. show_cursor() does so only when HIDE_CURSOR has not been set
for the frame buffer console.

Rename show_cursor() to reflect what it really does (toggle the cursor's
visibility state) and replace all outside uses of video_invertchar()
with the new toggle_cursor_visibility() to ensure that an explicitly
hidden cursor is not unintentionally unhidden.
