Enable extended cap names. Previously, the only allowed cap names were

those explicitly listed in term.h.  With extended names, non-standard
terminfo/termcap capabilities are passed through for those programs that
want to use them (screen for instance).  This changes struct term and
therefor requires a library major increment.  It also requires changing
how the terminfo.db file is parsed.  Previously, it was parsed like:
foreach cap (all_possible_caps) if ( is_listed(cap) ) add_cap(cap)
However, now that we can't know the set of all possible capabilities
we need to convert the buffer we get back from cgetent into one that
looks more like a terminfo entry and pass it through to the ncurses
terminfo parsing routines.  This also enables tic's -x flag.
