Subject: [PATCH] Support for (box . SIZE) `cursor-type'

To control minimum size of a masked image under which box cursor
becomes hollow.

* buffer.c (cursor-type): Add commentary about (box . SIZE)
  cursor-type.

* xdisp.c (get_specified_cursor_type): Check for `cursor-type' in form
  (box . SIZE).
  (get_window_cursor_type): Check masked image size for
  (box . SIZE) cursor-type.

* doc/emacs/display.texi, doc/emacs/display.texi: Add description
  for (box . SIZE) `cursor-type'.

* etc/NEWS: Add note about (box . SIZE) `cursor-type'.

+** Support for '(box . SIZE)' cursor-type.
+By default, 'box' cursor always has a filled box shape.  Unless you
+specify cursor-type to be '(box . SIZE)'.  In such case, cursor
+becomes a hollow box if the point is under masked image larger than
+'SIZE' pixels in any dimension.
