I'm OK with any name except "dumb", but as Andreas noted, "emacs" is
a traditional name to inform the subprocess that it is called by Emacs.

For grep there is no need to make up a terminfo entry because grep
doesn't detect terminfo capabilities.  From comments in grep source code:

      It would be impractical for GNU grep to become a full-fledged
      terminal program linked against ncurses or the like, so it will
      not detect terminfo(5) capabilities.
