eliminate discrepancies between termcap-generated info and infocmp results
(see user_caps(5))
also obviously protects the term name just in case someone wants to have
fun with it..

actually, I still need to exit() if infocmp can't be run

system + exit -> exec
as noticed by afresh1@
(this should be all for now)

since we're always running info_cmp in the end, remove the whole
"in case of emergency run info_cmp block" (more efficient: we only
parse the entry we need). Keep the small part that creates a dumb t

since we're always running info_cmp in the end, remove the whole
"in case of emergency run info_cmp block" (more efficient: we only
parse the entry we need). Keep the small part that creates a dumb terminal
on VMS, even though we're not running that.

Add an extra state check in the automaton to avoid skipping a tmp_term

simplify logic for $entry in the main termcap loop

always try to run info_cmp at the end if we haven't got what we wanted
This allows terminals with only terminfo capabilities to show up in
Term::Cap (like kitty) !

simplify $ENV{TERMCAP} handling: don't bother setting anything if
the variable doesn't exist

instead of a max number of iterations, record terms that have been seen
in a hash instead.
Side effect: we no longer parse the same tc again and again, leading
to a smaller result with the same capab

Side effect: we no longer parse the same tc again and again, leading
to a smaller result with the same capabilities but no duplicates.
(instead of parsing 36 entries for xterm, we end up with 10 entries, as
the "tc=" stuff is actually a tree instead of a list: xterm references
several intermediate tc that all lead to the same basic list !)

use modern file open instead of GLOBS

get rid of useless eval
use \Q\E to quote stuff around tmp_term, instead of rolling our own
in termpat (get rid of termpat)

reapply max=64 for now

Increase max depth for termcaps

With the update to ncurses 6.4-20230826 /etc/termcap now needs at
least a 36 deep search. Instead, we'll just bump to 64. It seems
32 has been enough since perl 5.0

32 has been enough since perl 5.001 in 1995, so hopefully this buys
us at least another 28 years.
