bug#55077: 28.1; Cursor is broken on Emacs 28.1 (Windows)

[Daniel Alejandro Tapia]

The cursor in Emacs 28.1 on Windows is broken. I want a blinking
cursor. To get a blinking cursor, I have to disable cursor blinking. In
other words, the function is set up backwards. I cannot get a box
cursor. Only a line cursor is available to me. Sometimes I see cursor
artifacts on the screen.

These problems do not exist in Cygwin's 28.1. There, the cursor in Emacs works as it
should. I have tested GNU's own 28.1 .exe and another one compiled by a Reddit
user who made native compiles with AOT, and both have the same cursor
problems on Windows.
