foot: install terminfo to separate output

* See also https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/pulls/607

* propagated-user-env-packages is undocumented unfortunately, but
  ensure that if you add foot(.out) to your `systemPackages` or
  install it via `nix-env`, the terminfo output is also  installed
  automatically.

* Resolves #125390.
