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().

This reverts commit 102fc80d32.
There are two issues with that commit:
* It is buggy. In pseudocode, it is doing:
color is set || TERM != dumb && color works && color=t
when it should be doing:
color is set || { TERM != dumb && color works && color=t }
* It unnecessarily disables color when tput needs to read
~/.terminfo to get the control sequences.

If ncurses needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before changing HOME to $TRASH_DIRECTORY but fail afterward.
Move the tests that determine whether there is color support after
changing HOME so that color=t is set if and only if tput would succeed
when say_color() is run.
Note that color=t is now set after --no-color is processed, so the
condition to set color=t has changed: it is now set only if
color has not already been set to the empty string by --no-color.
This disables color support for those that need ~/.terminfo for
their TERM, but it's better than filling the screen with:
tput: unknown terminal "custom-terminal-name-here"
An alternative would be to symlink or copy the user's terminfo
database into $TRASH_DIRECTORY, but this is tricky due to the lack of
a standard name for the terminfo database (for example, instead of a
~/.terminfo directory, NetBSD uses a ~/.terminfo.cdb database file).
