ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210925

+ add kbeg to xterm+keypad to accommodate termcap applications -TD
+ add smglp and smgrp to vt420+lrmm, to provide useful data for the
  "tabs" +m option -TD
+ build-fix for gcc 3.4.3 with Solaris10, which does not allow forward
  reference of anonymous struct typedef.
+ modify tput to allow multiple commands per line.
+ minor fixes for tset manpage.
