[1/2] menuconfig: optionally use pkg-config to detect ncurses libs

When building ncurses with --with-termlib several symbols get moved from
libncurses.so to libtinfo.so. Thus when linking with libncurses.so, one
additionally needs to link with libtinfo.so.

The ncurses pkg-config module will be used to detect the necessary libs for
linking. If not available the old heuristic for detection of the ncurses libs
will be used.

Do you also plan to use pkg-config in the ccflags function?

Thanks,
Michal

That was my intention to pursue Justin's work to the CFLAGS, but that is
not so simple for menuconfig as it is for the libs, as:

  - we need the name of the header to include: '-DCURSES_LOC="<path/ncurses.h>"'
    (where 'path' is a relative path) which we use as: #include CURSES_LOC
  - there is no way to get this info from pkg-config

So, I'll be working a bit more on this this WE, and see if I can come with
something meaningful and not too ugly. ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
