.bashrc color_prompt check only works for xterm-color, not xterm-256color

[Yannik]

The `share/dot.bashrc` file checks like this whether to enable `color_prompt`:

case "$TERM" in
    xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac

Nowaways, most terminals support 256 colors (instead of 8 like xterm-color). Their $TERM will usually be something like `xterm-256color`.

Accordingly, this check was modified in the `skel`-package `/etc/skel/.bashrc` like this:

case "$TERM" in
    xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac

I would suggest the same modification be done in the base-files .bashrc.
