 1.19  13-Mar-2020  roy terminfo: promote numeric parameters from short to int

POSIX mandates implementations must support upto a short but may exceed it.
When NetBSD terminfo was implemented, no terminfo description used over
a short, but because ncurses has supported ints for some time, some now do.

Infact, such a terminfo description was imported where colour pairs for
screen-256color went up to 65536 which exposed a bug in the existing
implementation where it set to zero. Because the number might mean
something more than a range, we need to be able to store it accurately.

This requires a version bump because whilst the API hasn't changed thanks
to C int promotion, the ABI has. Also the underlying database structure
has changed as well - we now store the numeric paramter inside a uint32_t
field rather than a uint16_t one.
Whilst this change can still read the old style database, the old one
cannot read the new one and thus we now maintain the database as
terminfo2.cdb, leaving the old library and database alone so old programs
still work fine.

libcurses, libfrom, libmenu and libpanel have also been bumped to
accomoate this change.
 1.18  30-Jun-2019  blymn Bump major number due to libcurses major bump
 1.17  11-Jan-2009  christos branches: 1.17.48;
bump shared libraries.
 1.16  24-Nov-2004  blymn * Rewrote internal handling of multiline field line data to fix a bug
where a newly opened line would immediately get wrapped out of existence.
The old method of handling lines in a multiline field did not cope with
this elegantly.

* Added new field flag O_REFORMAT which, when set, returns the field
buffer with newlines inserted where the line wrapped. Previously, there
was no way of preserving the on screen format of a multiline field.

* Added new file gdbinit which contains a macro to verify and print
the multiline field line data structure.

* Bumped libform major number due to changes in the _form_field structure.
 1.15  22-Mar-2004  jdc Increment major number (to 4) because of the libcurses major number change
and because of the change to match_enum().
 1.14  09-Aug-2002  blymn Added extension to interface, set_field_printf which allows a printf
style setting of field buffers.
 1.13  03-Dec-2001  christos bump major because of libcurses bump.
 1.12  25-Mar-2001  blymn Bumped major because driver commands have changed value and the subwin
is no longer created by the library.
 1.11  16-Feb-2001  blymn Added new function form_max_page.
 1.10  10-Feb-2001  blymn Added ipv6 builtin type.
 1.9  21-Jan-2001  blymn bump lib minor
 1.8  20-Jan-2001  blymn * Fixed common error in all types code
* Removed the args field from types struct and made sure the args in
the field are used.
 1.7  18-Jan-2001  blymn Fixed segv if a field that never had buffer 0 set has characters added
to it.
 1.6  18-Jan-2001  blymn * Stop next/prev field commands wrapping
* Made debug file open a function call that can be called multiple
times.
* Fixed the enum type.
 1.5  16-Jan-2001  blymn Multiple fixes:

* A debug version of libform will be build if DEBUG_FORMS is defined
* Can no longer edit fields that do not have O_EDIT set
* Changed background attribute to A_NORMAL like ncurses
* Fixed truncation of field contents when content length == field length
* Current field is set to first visible & active field on form post
 1.4  07-Jan-2001  jdc Bump libmenu and libform majors because of libcurses major bump.
Pointed out by mrg.
 1.3  04-Jan-2001  kleink Undo previous major bump - the ABI wasn't affected by the corresponding
code change.
 1.2  04-Jan-2001  blymn * Changed type of userptr to be void * (now matches ncurses)
* Bumped lib major version due to above.
* Changed debug output to go to a file instead of stderr, the file gets
opened when the form is posted iff one is not already open.
 1.1  17-Dec-2000  blymn Added early release version of libform - please be gentle.
 1.17.48.1  13-Apr-2020  martin Mostly merge changes from HEAD upto 20200411
