terminfo: add more path to lookup for the database

Browse Source 
In preparation for the move of the database out of base, add one more
path to lookup
Now the default lookup path is

1. base
2. localbase
3. localbase special site for custom terminfo (for ports adding custom
terminfo and avoid potential collision with the general db)
4. termcap

The plan is to allow the terminfo-db to be installed by end users via
a package for people willing to have the support for features from
this database provides. And keep the fallback on termcap for people who
don't want to hear about the terminfo db or how to configure the terminal
if it uses by default the features proposed in the definitions
of the terminfo db.

the first look up path is a window open for a proposal made by glebius@
consisting on creating a tool where the user at install time will select
the feature it want for a given terminal and generate its configurations
based on that. I won't work on it, but it is now posssible and there is
a path where to store those definitions
