+ add a section to tput manual page clarifying how it determines the
  terminal size (prompted by discussion with Grant Jenks).
+ add "--disable-relink" to rpm test-packages, for consistency with the
  deb test-packages.
+ split spec-file into ncurses6.spec and ncursest6.spec to work around
  toolset breakage in Fedora 28.

Besides the special commands (e.g., <STRONG>clear</STRONG>), tput treats certain ter-

<STRONG><A HREF="curs_terminfo.3x.html">setupterm(3x)</A></STRONG> to obtain the terminal size:
<STRONG>o</STRONG> first, it gets the size from the terminal database (which generally
is not provided for terminal emulators which do not have a fixed

<STRONG>o</STRONG> then it asks the operating system for the terminal's size (which
generally works, unless connecting via a serial line which does not
support <EM>NAWS</EM>: negotiations about window size).
<STRONG>o</STRONG> finally, it inspects the environment variables <STRONG>LINES</STRONG> and <STRONG>COLUMNS</STRONG>
which may override the terminal size.

falling back to "/dev/tty" and finally just assumes a 1200Bd termi-
