Add standalone terminfo definition
This replaces the current definitions, which depend on the system's 'xterm-256color' terminfo definition with the `alacritty` and `alacritty-direct` definitions. The new definitions are completely standalone. The default `TERM` value has been changed to be dynamically set based on the definitions installed on the system. Alacritty will try to use the `alacritty` definition first and fall back to `xterm-256color` if the `alacritty` definition is not present.
