openrc doesn't use proper escape chars for cursor positioning

Description
On serial vt100 consoles, OpenRC does not appear to use proper cursor positioning sequences, resulting in improperly formatted '[ ok ]s over serial. This may be a bug inherited from my original initscripts, but openrc should probably look at using tput or a proper terminal library to perform cursor positioning so that it is compatible across a wide variety of terminals.

libeinfo can be build using termcap via ncurses on Linux.
make MKTERMCAP=ncurses
Cursor positioning is done using the ch capability, falling back to RI if ch does not exist.
If termcap support is not enabled then we default to using \033[%dC
