(bright_bg): Save the original state of video blink bit.

(maybe_enable_blinking): New function, restores the original state
of the blink bit.
(IT_reset_terminal_modes): Restore the original state of the blink
bit when suspending/exiting.
(run_msdos_command): Make sure bright background colors are again
enabled after subsidiary program returns.
