pty: fall back to xterm-256color where xterm-ghostty has no terminfo
TERM=xterm-ghostty was unconditional, but the entry ships with
ghostty and a machine that has never seen ghostty has ncurses'
database and nothing else. There, nano exits the moment it opens
(C-a e flashing a pane) and a shell that cannot look up kbs guesses
at backspace. The entry is now looked up the way curses would --
TERMINFO, ~/.terminfo, TERMINFO_DIRS, the system dirs, letter and
Darwin-hashed layouts -- and when absent, panes get xterm-256color,
which every ncurses database carries. Verified both ways with a
mount namespace hiding the database.
