- Much of the mouse chatter in gui.txt and term.txt is redundant; other
parts are outdated or irreleveant to Nvim.
- Fix default value of 'mousemodel' for Windows
TERM=konsole-256color is recognized by ncurses.
TERM=konsole-xterm might be more clever, but should not be necessary
(for Nvim at least), we already special-case Konsole in various places.
We may need to clean up some areas that currently assume Konsole always
"pretends xterm" (`TERM=xterm-256color`), though I didn't find any such
cases.

iTerm2 got its own entry in Thomas Dickey's terminfo.src on 2017-08-16.
Make sure that the new entry is handled in the same way as the old entry.

- Prefer "TUI" where possible to refer to the host terminal.
- Remove obsolete tags and ancient TTY exposition.
- Establish "terminal" to consistently mean "terminal emulator" in all
Nvim documentation. This removes the need for verbose qualifiers in
tags and prose.

The libvte test was too agressive, and is reduced to only triggering
when it is libvte 0.36 AND a gnome or xterm terminal type is used.
Contrastingly, tmux was not on the list at all and now is.
This is a new convention pioneered by tmux. It does not do much for
nvim; since nvim always looks to see whether it should be making up
"setrgbf" and "setrgbb" capabilities. But it is a way for terminfo to
force this, irrespective of the hardwired list in the code, for more
terminal types. On the gripping hand, updating terminfo descriptions to
actually have "setrgbf" and "setrgbb" capabilities so that nvim never
has to try to invent them in the first place, is as good if not better
an approach for overriding what is baked into the code.
The example used &term which is no longer meaningful.
Fortunately, we can change this into a useful example using $TERM that also
shows how to address a common need with termguicolors at the same time.
The details are in the on-line help under :help true-color .
The brief precis is that nvim is (I hope.) converging with tmux and libvte.
It is taking the same approach with setrgbf and setrgbb terminfo capabilities
that it does with the Ss and Se terminfo capabilities.
The details are in the on-line help under :help cursor-shape .
The brief precis is that nvim is following the lead of tmux, and going
beyond what tmux does to make cursor shape changes work on a broad range of
terminals. This includes on tmux itself, which is no longer bypassed.
This documents 256-colour and true colour handling, cursor shapes,
and scrolling regions.
Almost all of these headings are taken from the Vim doco, so that
the :help commands that people learn are a transferable skill.
Update runtime files.

Missing in runtime/doc: hangulin.txt, tags, todo.txt. The changes to options.txt
do not apply for nvim. man.vim is very different in nvim, some changes applied
manually, others discarded.
Note about ~/.local/share/nvim/site used in one usr_\* file: this one talks
about user-local installation of third-party plugins, and
~/.local/share/nvim/site is the proper place for them. Most other files talk
about user own configuration and this is ~/.config.
