Eat up "CSI 58" sequences
This is used in the wild by systemd systemctl for example and st
misinterpreted it as "blink", because it didn't know "58", then saw "5"
as "blink", and then didn't know "245".
This should print "foo" as normal text:
printf '\e[58:5:245mfoo\n'
printf '\e[58:2:50:100:200mfoo\n'
