[Bug 1582629] [NEW] mutt does not properly restore console colors on exit

Public bug reported:

With release of Ubuntu 16.04 Debian Bug 803405 also hits Ubuntu.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803405

After quitting mutt (with q or x) mutt doesn't restore colors of the
console properly, colors are mangled, at least when colors used in mutt
are different from console colors. Tested in xfce4-terminal and gnome-
terminal, maybe also other terminal or text console is affected.

In addition to the information in the debian report this problem only
occurs when a .muttrc (even when empty) exists for the user. Without a
.muttrc file the behaviour of mutt on leaving is ok.

I could confirm this on amd64 and armv7l, so it seems platform
independent.

Even if the bug is already known in Debian I repost this in Ubuntu just
to have documented it also hits Ubuntu and to maybe have some fix for
current mutt version (or to get an update to next version in this LTS
release).
