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.

- Drop patch ncurses-5.9-environment.dif as YaST2 ncurses GUI does
  not need it anymore and as well as it causes bug bsc#1000662 

- Add ncurses patch 20161022
  + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
    screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
    setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
  + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
    not optional in tput.
  + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
  + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
    for transformed names.
  + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
    tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.

- Add ncurses patch 20161015
  + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
    affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
    merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
    "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
    doupdate.
  + regenerate llib-* files.
  + regenerate HTML manpages.
  + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.

- Add ncurses patch 20161008
  + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
  + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
  + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.

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.
