upgpkg: 1:691-2: backport patch fixing pager usage
Specific terminals, like kitty, had terminfo sequences that less wasn't
handling and broke searching and other input features in pagers making use of
less. Fix this by backporting the less patch, which is part of version 692
but which is still in beta as it contains lot more changes.
Switch temporarily to `git apply` as it allows to exclude files from the patch
that may conflict but we aren't interested in, f.e. NEWS and version history.
Revert to previous patch blocks when releasing 692.
