keep some glyph modes for the cursor

st currently does not keep any mode for the cursor that was active
in the underlying glyph (e.g. italic text), the mode is always
ATTR_NULL [1].  At [2] you can find a screenshot that shows the
implications.  Other terminals (at least vte-based, such as
XFCE-terminal) keep some modes for the cursor.  I find the current
behaviour very disruptive, so here is a patch that keeps a few
(arbitrarily chosen) modes for the cursor.
