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.
