Reapply "[Support] Remove terminfo dependency (#92865)" (#93889)
This reverts commit fe82a3da36196157c0caa1ef2505186782f750d1.

This broke LLDB on MacOS due to a missing symbol during linking.

The fix has been applied in c6c08eee37bada190bd1aa4593c88a5e2c8cdaac.

Original commit message:

The terminfo dependency introduces a significant nonhermeticity into the
build. It doesn't respect `--no-undefined-version` meaning that it's not
a dependency that can be built with Clang 17+. This forces maintainers
of source-based distributions to implement patches or ignore linker
errors.

Remove it to reduce the closure size and improve portability of
LLVM-based tools. Users can still use command line arguments to toggle
color support expliticly.

Fixes #75490
Closes #53294 #23355

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
