[PATCH v2 15/18] man/curs_terminfo.3x: Revise tables.

[G. Branden Robinson]

* Consistently use `PP` to put a blank line before each table, making
  it more like a display.
* Fix sentence fragments introducing table.
* Use `x` modifiers on each "Description" column, which needs a lot of
  room.  This lets the column expand to whatever width is available.
* Set columns containing literals in bold.
* ...except where this would result in a nearly completely bold table.
  There, use roman, with "N/A" converted to lowercase italics.
* Use '_' in table data instead of repeated '_' column descriptions.
* Set "termcap" in italics.
