7542 - baremetal: support cursor on a grapheme
So far we've drawn a space implicitly at the cursor. Now I allow drawing
an arbitrary grapheme when drawing the cursor. But the caller has to
specify what to draw. (The alternative would be for layer 103 to
track every single grapheme on screen along with its color and any other
future attributes, just to be able to paint and unpaint the background
for a single character.)

I've modified existing helpers for drawing multiple graphemes to always
clear the final cursor position after they finish drawing. That seems
reasonable for terminal-like applications. Applications that need to
control the screen in a more random-access manner will need to track the
grapheme at the cursor for themselves.
