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 20230418 (boo#1210485, (boo#1210434)
  + improve checks for limits on privileged execution:
    + modify _nc_syserr_abort() to use _nc_env_access(), rather than
      only checking root uid.
    + use getauxval() when available, to improve setuid/setgid checks.
    + modify test packages to disable root access/environ options.
  + modify tgoto() to accept no-parameter capabilities, for joe editor
    (OpenSUSE #1210485, Gentoo #904263).

- Add signatures of the patches as well in patch tar ball 

- Add ncurses patch 20230415 (boo#1210485)
  + configure script fixes:
    + fix copy/paste error in configure option --disable-root-access
      (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
    + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro's amend default case to avoid
      undefining _XOPEN_SOURCE if _POSIX_C_SOURCE is defined.
  + modify test_tparm to account for extended capabilities.
  + add checks in tparm() and tiparm() for misuse of numeric parameters,
    overlooked in 20230408.
  + fix errata in clear.1 and curs_terminfo.3x

- Add ncurses patch 20230408 (boo#1210434)

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.
