Add fallback for 24-bit terminal color via COLORTERM=truecolor

* src/term.c (init_tty): When COLORTERM=truecolor is defined,
override setaf/setab/colors terminfo capabilities with 24-bit
color support.

* doc/misc/efaq.texi (Colors on a TTY): Mention the possibility to
enable 24-bit color via the COLORTERM environment variable.
