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.

- Fix ncursesw6-config and ncursesw5-config scripts to return -ltinfow
  as well as the pkg-config files do

- Add ncurses patch 20170520
  + modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
  + modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
    related files can be checked with lintian.
  + fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).

- Add ncurses patch 20170513
  + add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
    The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
  + repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
    changed (cf: 20170311).
  + improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.

- Better screen support and workaround about missing terminfo entries
  might be help on boo#812067 as well as on boo#935736 but may cause
  boo#940459  (which should be fixed by screen its self!)
- New package terminfo-screen which includes some useful but troubling
  terminfo database entries for screen.

- Disable the usage of getttynam(3) as under Linux this is not used 

- Add ncurses patch 20170506
  + modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
    they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
  + improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
  + change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
  + improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x

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.
