Console Virtual Terminal Sequences
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt638032%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
says the Windows console recognizes "38 ; 2 ; <r> ; <g> ; <b>"
(foreground) and "48 ; 2 ; <r> ; <g> ; <b>" (background)
in the Set Graphics Rendition (SGR) control sequence.
However, this Microsoft documentation does not mention how the
feature would be described in termcap or terminfo.

"Please identify the terminal emulator with TERM, do not pretend to be xterm."
