libpayload: Add PDCurses and ncurses' libform/libmenu PDCurses provides an alternative implementation of the curses library standard in addition to tinycurses. Where tinycurses is really tiny, PDCurses is more complete and provides virtually unlimited windows and the full API. The PDCurses code is brought in "vanilla", with all local changes residing in curses/pdcurses-backend/ In addition to a curses library, this change also provides libpanel (as part of the PDCurses code), and libform and libmenu which were derived from ncurses-5.9. As they rely on ncurses internals (and PDCurses is not ncurses), more changes were required for these libraries to work. The build system is extended to install the right set of header files depending on the selected curses implementation.

This is a port of PDCurses for X11, aka XCurses. It is designed to
allow existing curses programs to be re-compiled with PDCurses,

resulting in native X11 programs.
Building
--------
. Run "./configure" in the top-level directory.
To build the wide-character version of the library, specify
"--enable-widec" as a parameter. To use X Input Methods, add
"--enable-xim". I recommend these options, but I haven't yet made
them the defaults, for the sake of backwards compatibility and due to
their new and relatively untested status.
If your system is lacking in UTF-8 support, you can force the use of
UTF-8 instead of the system locale via "--enable-force-utf8". This is
generally more useful in Windows.
If configure can't find your X include files or X libraries, you can
specify the paths with the arguments "--x-includes=inc_path" and/or
"--x-libraries=lib_path".
By default, the library and demo programs are built with the optimizer
switch -O2. You can turn this off, and turn on debugging (-g), by
adding "--with-debug" to the configure command.
. Run "make". This should build libXCurses and all the demo programs.
. Optionally, run "make install". curses.h and panel.h will be renamed
when installed (to xcurses.h and xpanel.h), to avoid conflicts with
any existing curses installations. Unrenamed copies of curses.h and
panel.h are installed in (by default) /usr/local/include/xcurses.
libXpanel is just a symlink to libXCurses. Both curses and panel
functions are in the main library.

To be Done
----------
- have newterm() create a new X window
- provide a command line parsing function to enable X command line
arguments to be parsed and stripped from the arguments passed back
to the calling procedure.
