clear could check its arguments and complain if any except --help,
where upon it could give a usage message, instead of wiping out the
screen.
$ clear /dev/tty1 #should give message instead of ignoring arguments.
Also set $? = 1.

Closes: 371855 873723
Changes:
ncurses (6.0+20170827-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream patchlevel.
- Add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
(Closes: #873723).
+ Add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to
tic as input (CVE-2017-13728).
+ Allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (CVE-2017-13729).
+ Add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry
(CVE-2017-13730).
+ Check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (CVE-2017-13731).
+ Reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (CVE-2017-13732).
+ Guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
cancelled strings (CVE-2017-13734).
- Add usage message to clear command (Closes: #371855).
* Configure the test programs with --datadir=/usr/share/ncurses-examples.
* Look for tarballs on ftp.invisible-island.net in the watch files.
