Subject: nixos/terminfo: inherit TERMINFO* env vars also for doas

This should mirror the behavior we implement for sudo: The TERMINFO and
TERMINFO_DIRS variables are inherited from the normal user's
environment, so terminfo files installed in the user's profile can be
found by ncurses applications running as root.
