test-lib.sh: fix color support when tput needs ~/.terminfo

If tput needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before HOME is changed to $TRASH_DIRECTORY (causing color to
be set to 't') but fail afterward.

One possible way to fix this is to treat HOME like TERM: back up the
original value and temporarily restore it before say_color() runs
tput.

Instead, pre-compute and save the color control sequences before
changing either TERM or HOME.  Use the saved control sequences in
say_color() rather than call tput each time.  This avoids the need to
back up and restore the TERM and HOME variables, and it avoids the
overhead of a subshell and two invocations of tput per call to
say_color().
