Fix cursor position and live timer updates

- Track cursor position in UIManager.cursor_pos
- Restore cursor after print_message() and update_server_info()
- Sync cursor_pos between wait_stdin thread and manager
- Update server info panel every second for live timer display
- Timer now ticks continuously instead of only on game events
