Putting blink-cursor-mode in Options menu.

[Luc Teirlinck <teirllm@dms.auburn.edu>]

To some people, for instance me, having to watch a blinking cursor
produces real discomfort.  I do not know what percentage of people
react the same way to it, but I know from other people's reactions
that I am not the only person like that.  Anybody just starting to
learn Emacs should be able to disable this torture instrument without
any need to read prior documentation and do so very quickly.  (I can
not stand the blinking cursor for more than a couple of seconds.)  I
believe that the first place a desperate novice is likely to try is
the Options menu.  Hence, I believe that it needs to be on the Options
menu and be very visible there, i.e. on top.  The patch below does that.

The patch contains a minor, unrelated, doc fix to `menu-bar-make-mm-toggle'.

I can install if desired.
