Intends to fix mamedev#13522. This fixes an error in mcd212.h which dropped the middle bit of the Cursor's ON timer. I changed it to use bitshifted binary which more clearly is readable as a correctly shifted mask.

Intends to fix #13522.
This also fixes an error in mcd212.h which dropped the middle bit of the Cursor's ON timer. I changed it to use bitshifted binary which more clearly is readable as a correctly shifted mask.
The time calculation was produced algebraically by following the description on the page in the comment. It should work for NTSC as well as PAL, however NTSC games have not been tested since NTSC games are generally unsupported at the moment.
To test, I recommend the Validation Disc (Europe). Use the Cursor Blink test (described in #13522), and verify the timing of the blinks correctly matches the description for each test.
This also rewrites the cursor's draw logic to be slightly cleaner.
