meson: add -Dterminfo-base-name option

Browse source 
This defines the base name of the generated terminfo files. It
defaults to the value of -Ddefault-terminfo (i.e. 'foot')

Example:

  meson -Ddefault-terminfo=foot-bananas -Dterminfo-base-name=foot-apples

The generated terminfo files will be

* terminfo/f/foot-apples
* terminfo/f/foot-apples-direct

The default value of $TERM will be 'foot-bananas'

If you want foot to use the terminfo files from ncurses, but still
package foot's own terminfo files under a different name, you can use
the `-Dterminfo-base-name` option. Many distributions use the name
`foot-extra`, and thus it might be a good idea to re-use that:
```sh
meson ... -Ddefault-terminfo=foot -Dterminfo-base-name=foot-extra
```
(or just leave out `-Ddefault-terminfo`, since it defaults to `foot` anyway).
Finally, `-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location` enables foot’s terminfo
to co-exist with ncurses’ version, without changing the terminfo
names. The idea is that you install foot’s terminfo to a non-standard
location, for example `/usr/share/foot/terminfo`. Use
`-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location` to tell foot where the terminfo
