Hide cursor in embedded terminal when not focused (#52404)
## Context
Fixes #52063
This change hides the cursor in embedded terminal mode when not focused.
Embedded mode is used for read-only terminal output (like the Agent
panel). Showing a cursor in a read-only context when unfocused is
confusing, so we suppress it.

## How to Review

The change is in a single file:
`crates/terminal_view/src/terminal_view.rs:754-761`.
Focus on the `should_show_cursor()` method 
Verify the logic correctly hides the cursor only when both conditions
are met (Embedded mode AND not focused).

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
