On a new freebsd-14.0-RELEASE install, the first i do is installing bash, only
to find out the the "clear-display" readline command not being able to also
clear the scrollback.

I had to build it again with debug info and attach lldb to find that terminfo
was the culprit.

Maybe we should add a line in port note saying that without terminfo installed
some features will be missing?
