Subject: [PATCH] display: force the cursor to reappear after a message (when
 using Slang)

For some reason, when running a tiny nano built with Slang on the bterm
of a Debian installer image, the cursor disappears when certain things
are written to the status bar.  Make the cursor reappear by rewriting
the two help lines with dummy items (and then rewriting it again with
the normal menu in the central loop).  Of course, this does not help
when the user uses -x or --nohelp to suppress the help lines, but at
least in the default setup the cursor doesn't get hidden now and then.

This mitigates https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59091.

Bug existed since before version 2.2.4.
