PuTTY implemented UTF-8 much later than screen and Linux console.

Those (the last two) tend to have $TERM set properly (at least half the tim=
e).
I could let ncurses guess what to do based on $TERM and locale.

For PuTTY, most users have it incorrectly set to "xterm"(*).
There are no clues - so I added the environment variable to help.

(*) It's incorrect because in several areas it does not match xterm.
