It seems the terminfo library on some systems (OS X, Linux) may emit the
sequence \e[x to reset to default attributes. Apart from using the
zero-command, this escape sequence allows many more operations, such as
setting ANSI colors. I don't see this used anywhere, so this should be
sufficient for now.
This deficiency was spotted by the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. They have their
own patch, which is slightly flawed in my opinion. I don't know why they
never reported this issue to us.

These strings often contain things like:
- Window titles.
- Extended key map functionality.
- Color palette switching.
We could look at these features in the future (if people consider them
to be important enough), but we'd better discard them now. This fixes
some artifacts people reported when using TERM=xterm.

Just run this to switch to xterm:
printf '\e[=T'
If you get bored and want to switch back to cons25, run this:
printf '\e[=1T'
I can now send an email to the lists, asking whether people are
interested in trying the xterm emulator.
I initially committed libteken to sys/dev/syscons/teken, but now that
I'm working on a console driver myself, I noticed this was not a good
decision. Move it to sys/teken to make it easier for other drivers to
use a terminal emulator.
Also list teken.c in sys/conf/files, instead of listing it in all the
files.arch files separately.
