Avoid ANSI/VT100 color codes which generate a 'blink' effect in minicom #163

Certain ANSI/VT100 color codes get interpreted by minicom (both color and mono mode) as 'blink' attribute which leads to a very annoying blinking text on the serial console.

Currently this is the case for the user and host name in the PS1 prompt after login.

Fixed in 51baf2a, for some reason I didn't commit the changes to the prompt...
