tui: expose terminal type in 'term' option

Since "builtin" terminfo definitions were implemented (7cbf52db1bdf),
the decisions made by tui.c and terminfo.c are more relevant. Exposing
that decision in the 'term' option helps with troubleshooting.

Also: remove code that allowed setting t_Co. `:set t_Co=…` has never
worked; the highlight_spec test asserting that nvim_set_option('t_Co')
_does_ work makes no sense, and should not have worked.
