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.

Revision 186 (latest revision is 277)
Richard Brown's avatar Richard Brown (RBrownSUSE) accepted request 881821 from Dr. Werner Fink's avatar Dr. Werner Fink (WernerFink) (revision 186)
- Disable pcre support for now (boo#1183960, boo#1184083) 

- Add ncurses patch 20210327
  + build-fixes for Solaris10 /bin/sh
  + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs,
    form and menu libraries.

- Add ncurses patch 20210323
  + add configure option --enable-stdnoreturn, making the _Noreturn
    keyword optional to ease transition (prompted by report by
    Rajeev V Pillai).

- Enhence cursescheck script 

- Disable _Noreturn usage as it breaks build of e.g. dialog 

- Add ncurses patch 20210320
  + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any
    extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms
    capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town,
    cf: 20200531).
  + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of
    _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
  + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD
  + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger)
  + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that
    rather than gcc's attribute.
  + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is
    a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention.
  + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.

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.
