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 20170708
  + add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
  + correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim). 
- This also for bug bsc#1047964 and bug bsc#1047965

- Add ncurses patch 20170701 (bsc#1046853, bsc#1046858)
  + modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
    variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
    application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
  + remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
    configuration; none is needed.
  + add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
  + improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
    fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
    not work (cf: 20160213).
  + the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
    reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
    reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
    showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
    addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
  + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
    (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
    + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
    + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
      one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
      treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
  + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
  + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
  + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
  + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes

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.
