It's too late to make incompatible changes on the emacs-26 branch.

I actually don't understand the motivation for the change.  Did the
method we use now stop working in the recent versions of terminfo, and
the "RGB" and "setaf"/"setab" replace "setf24"/"setb24" we use in the
current code?  Or are the new attributes supported in addition to the
old ones?  If the latter, why do we need to change anything?  And if
the former, I think we want to support both, not just the new
replacements.

Thanks.
