Ok. So Ghostty brings its own terminfo that supports colors.  You can get it
from within Ghostty simply by running infocmp.  You can run either `infocmp
-C`, or `infocmp | tic -C -` to get a termcap compatible entry.  But termcap
seems to have limited support for capabilities compared to terminfo.  I am not
sure if it is ok to put terminfo entires into FreeBSDs termcap file.  I am
suprised, that xterm-256color brings the "terminfo"-capability "Color#256".  If
that is ok, we could simply copy the terminfo entry for Ghostty, right?  I
think that would be clearer.
