[PATCH 3/4] ncurses: Skip terminfo database install on host

Since the introduction of the host package for ncurses, it has attempted
to install terminfo files directly into the build machine's /usr/lib.
When not root, this silently fails to install. On ncurses versions after
v6_4_20230708, ncurses fails to install instead of silently failing.
Remove the host terminfo database installation to avoid this unexpected
behavior.
