[PATCH v2 0/4] ncurses: refactor and bump to 6.6.20260801

[Charlie Jenkins]

ncurses occasionally releases major version snapshots, but much more
frequently releases minor version snapshots with bug fixes and
improvements.

Migrate the ncurses package to cloning from git to get access to the
minor version releases. In this process, also bump ncurses to the
most-up-to-date version and fix a long standing bug in the terminfo
installation on the host that has since been upgraded from a build
warning to error.

The final improvement in this series is to add a config option
CONFIG_LIBNCURSES_TERMINFO for installing additional terminfo files to
avoid growing the list of defaults installed.
