Fix background-mode on terminal frames (Dan Nicolaescu). lisp/faces.el (frame-set-background-mode): Guess the background mode on terminal frames from the termcap type string. (tty-create-frame-with-faces): Switch to the new frame during its setup. Load the customization library corresponding to the terminal type of the newly created frame. (Reported by Dan Nicolaescu <dann at ics dot uci dot edu>.) lisp/startup.el (normal-top-level): Moved background-mode heuristic to frame-set-background-mode. src/dispnew.c (init_display): Update the tty-type frame parameter of the initial terminal frame. src/frame.h (Qtty, Qtty_type): New externs. src/term.c (term_init): Update comments. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-114

 ** Dan Nicolaescu suggests that -nw should be added as an alias for -t
    in emacsclient.  Good idea.  (Alas, implementing this is not
    trivial, getopt_long does not seem to support two-letter ``short''
