I don't know how the end-of-line is displayed. On the Windows Emacs
I've got here it's a narrow glyph (same as space, I think), so the bar
isn't displayed at it's full width if it's set to be wide. I expect
it'll be the same on the Mac, I can check later if you want.

No, w->phys_cursor_width appears to hold the glyph width by default,
so we should end up with the smaller of cursor_width or the glyph
width.

I realise it might be more desirable to have the bar cursor be a
consistent width, but that would make the NS port different from all
the others, afaics.
