termcap entry reordering requires ex (which is available via usr.bin/vi), which
breaks on build hosts where installworld is run with MK_VI == no (or when
make delete-old is run on ^/projects/building-blocks as vi, et al, are
removed on the branch when the knob is tweaked to => "no")
Reordering termcap was believed to improve performance, but the file is now
accessed via /etc/termcap.db, so /etc/termcap (and /usr/share/misc/termcap by
proxy) access is less preferred.
Reordering the file broke the historical comment <-> entry mapping as well,
which could muddle the purpose of entries in the file, so it could be
potentially harmful to readers in its reordered state.

typically bound to Shift-Tab. syscons produces ^]]Z for Shift-Tab, like
many VT100-like terminal (emulators). The plain xterm does not produce
this sequence, but ^I for both Tab and Shift-Tab.

exiting a pager, vi, etc.
Add some example xterm*-clear entries to the termcap files to make
it easier for people to enable that behavior.
Document the examples in the man page to make them easier to find.
It turns out these entries do make Terminal.app behave a little better.
According to Thomas Dickey, Terminal.app should use TERM=nsterm anyway,
but we don't support this yet. Already having an improved termcap entry
helps, so I am going to MFC this change after all.

VT100 spec indicates that passthrough printing can be enabled
by sending ESC[5i and disabled by sending ESC[4i These entries
should be listed as po and pf in /etc/termcap, but are absent.

Although the PR contains also the definitions of the Wyse 60, they
are not copied into it since there are already definition for them
in the termcap file since 1997.
Also, the PR didn't use the :tc=xxx: feature, so I've imploded them.

The termcap database does not have an entry for rxvt-unicode.
This means that programs that need an entry such as vi fail
to work when connecting via ssh using this terminal emulator.
The added data is not the same as the PR submitted by Richard, it
uses the :tc=xxx: option to inherit everything from rxvt-mono.

@7 (kp_end). As ncurses has the limitation that it returns the first
matched key symbol, you can not use END in ncurses based program under
screen (like ports/misc/mc).
We did similar changes to xterm entry last year for exactly the same reason.

As ncurses has the limitation that it returns the first matched key symbol,
you can not use END in ncurses based program, like mutt, with xterm.
- Add @8 (kp_enter) definition for xterm so you can use ENTER in xterm with
ncurses based program.
I also found that NetBSD's xterm does the same thing.

Now ncurses-based programs such as sysinstall and mc will display the
correct font for graphical lines instead of "-" and "+" characters.
Correct two special characters for cons25l1 in termcap: use real
arrows instead of ">>" and "<<".
Add a lot of additional symbols for line drawing which are taken from
the CP437 font.
Almost all of the ACS symbols are now implemented.
