The ncurses UI sets a few console options at startup that are needed for
ncurses to work properly. These aren't reset however and can lead to
quirks like the cursor being invisible after kexecing to the next
kernel.
The UI process doesn't have time to reset these when it is killed by
kexec, so instead add a 'boot_active' field to status updates. This is
set by boot.c's update handler so the UI can assume it is about to boot
if it receives a status update with this field, and resets the console
options. If the boot is cancelled for any reason the status update will
reflect that and the console options are restored.
