[PATCH 17/23] Document "SP" symbol.


From: G. Branden Robinson
Subject: [PATCH 17/23] Document "SP" symbol.
Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2024 21:36:06 -0600

It had no description.  Demote "NOTES" section to new subsection (of
"DESCRIPTION") "terminfo and curses".  Characterize `SP` as the bridge
between the lower-level terminfo API and the higher-level curses one.
