meson: terminfo install location now defaults to $datadir/terminfo

Browse source 
The meson command line option -Dcustom-terminfo-install-location has
been changed in the following ways:

* If unset, $datadir/terminfo is used, and TERMINFO is *not* exported
* If set, that value (relative to $prefix) is used, and TERMINFO *is*
exported.
* The special value ‘no’ is removed.

-Ddefault-terminfo now also changes the terminfo names generated when
-Dterminfo=enabled.

Furthermore, the documentation for the TERMINFO environment variable
has been removed from the foot.1 and footclient.1 man pages (but as
mentioned above, foot *will* still set it if
-Dcustom-terminfo-install-location has been used).

INSTALL.md has been updated to now recommend using ncurses’ terminfo
definitions, if available. But also to document the other
alternatives; installing the terminfo definitions in a custom
location, or installing them with a diferent name. It also describes
the general problem, and the disadvantages of each alternative (but
without going into too much depth).

@ -402,36 +402,6 @@ The following environment variables are set in the child process:
set according to either the *--term* command-line option or the
*term* config option in *foot.ini*(5).
*TERMINFO*
Path to foot's terminfo definitions. These are typically installed
in a non-standard location (though distributions may override
this), to allow them to co-exist with the foot terminfo
definitions in ncurses. Note that applications will search the
default location(s) if *TERM* does not exist in *TERMINFO*.
Note that applications like *sudo*, *doas* and *ssh* may remove
this environment variable.
For *sudo*, you can create a file under _/etc/sudoers.d_ (name
does not matter) with the following content:
*Defaults env_keep += "TERMINFO"*
For *doas*, edit _/etc/doas.conf_ and add:
*permit setenv { TERMINFO } :wheel*
Or, if you are not in the *wheel* group, replace *:wheel* with
your username.
For *ssh*, you can edit _/etc/ssh/sshd_config_ (on the *server*),
and add:
*SetEnv TERMINFO=*_<path>_
Where path is the location of the terminfo definitions on the
*server*, typically /usr/share/foot/terminfo.
*COLORTERM*
This variable is set to *truecolor*, to indicate to client
applications that 24-bit RGB colors are supported.
