New curses Libraries

Edit Package ncurses

As soon as a text application needs to directly control its output to
the screen (if it wants to place the cursor at location (x,y) then
write text), ncurses is used. The panel and the forms libraries are
included in this package. These new libraries support color, special
characters, and panels.

- Add ncurses patch 6.1-20180303
  + modify TurnOn/TurnOff macros in lib_vidattr.c and lib_vid_attr.c to
    avoid expansion of "CUR" in trace.
  + improve a few lintian warnings in test-packages.
  + modify lib_setup to avoid calling pthread_self() without first
    verifying that the address is valid, i.e., for weak symbols
    (report/patch by Werner Fink).
  + modify generated terminfo.5 to not use "expand" and related width
    on the last column of tables, making layout on wide terminals look
    better (adapted from patch by Kir Kolyshkin).
  + add a category to report_offsets, e.g., "w" for wide-character, "t"
    for threads to make the report more readable.  Reorganized the
    structures reported to make the categories more apparent.
  + simplify some ifdef's for extended-colors.
  + add NCURSES_GLOBALS and NCURSES_PRESCREEN to report_offsets, to show
    how similar the different tinfo configurations are.
- Remove patch ncurses-6.1-weakpthreads.dif now upstream (bsc#1082772)
- Make expect build check less fragile on timing

- Switch back to shared libtinfo only but provide an auxiliary shared
  library libtinfow to avoid a rebuild of third party programs (bsc#1082772)
  + Add sanity check if new 32bit API is included in libtinfo

- Add patch ncurses-6.1-weakpthreads.dif
  + Be aware that libtinfo/libtinfw is also used without libpthread
    (boo#1058509)
- Use expect to run at least two test for normal and wide character
  version of newdemo from test suite

- Add ncurses patch 6.1-20180224

Is it possible to retrigger build and republish all the packages that claim to buildrequire ncurses-devel ? PCRE posix is still infecting a sizeable amount of packages and those will likely crash under some circumstances as they expect regcomp from glibc and not from pcre.
