Random notes on NIL environment setup

The site name is gotten from the symbol HOST$LOCALNAME, if that
exists, otherwise SYS$NODE, if that exists.  The former is
(apparently) setup by chaos initialization software to the "canonical"
chaos host name of the site.  The latter is for DECNET, and is
(apparently) typically put in a DEF in the SYSTARTUP.COM file.
(Trailing colons and spaces are stripped off.)

The symbol TERM is examined for terminal name.  If not there (which it
probably won't be in pre-3.0 VMS due to inheritance lossage), the NIL
looks in the file NIL$DISK:[NIL]TERMINALS.DAT, which should have look
like
----------------
_TTA0:vt100
a line without a leading underscore is treated as a comment.
_TTA1:vt52
_TTA3:concept100
_*:vt100
----------------
This is a VMS version 2 kludge to default the terminal type.
