Bug#747347: Update or drop obsolete 60_termcap-home-end.patch

Package: vte3
Version: 1:0.36.0-2

VTE 0.36 changed the control sequences generated for Home and End.
They used to be \eOH and \eOF, now they are the xterm-compatible \e[H
and \e[F.  (Due to an unfortunate bug, they are \e[1~ and \e[4~ for
the keypad, this is already fixed in git.  Forget these sequences,
\e[H and \e[F are the correct ones.)

With this change in mind, 60_termcap-home-end.patch no longer makes
sense.  The patch should be updated or dropped.  (I can't tell where
that termcap file is being used, if at all.)
