curses UI: support terminal palette restoration on PDCurses/win32 and xterm
* palette changes are persistent on PDCurses/win32, too.
Fortunately, on this port we can reliably query the console palette.
This is done ONLY on PDcurses/win32 since on other ports (notably
ncurses), this can cause more harm than it helps.
* support palette restoration on xterm by hardcoding the appropriate
escape sequence. $TERM cannot be used to identify xterm, but
looking at $XTERM_VERSION is sufficient hopefully.
