export TERM=xterm-256colors

I had a small issue where <BackSpace> didn't work anymore in mutt. xterm
had a different keycode for it:

$ infocmp xterm-256color xterm | grep kbs
       kbs: '^H', '\177'.

But I've changed the kbs keycode in xterm-256colors so it's the same as
xterm:

$ export TERM=256color
$ infocmp -L > .terminfo/x/xterm-256color
$ vi .terminfo/x/xterm-256color
$ tic .terminfo/x/xterm-256color
