Abstract out the details of the FreeBSD build into a $TINFO_OBJDIR that
external builds can override if they orchestrate the build a bit
differently and have a different objdir layout as a result. This makes
the ncurses build a little bit more flexible without requiring weird
backflips.

many external program expects libncurses to not be provided as a single
library. Instead of fixing all ports, distribute ncurses the way
upstream distributes it
Turn libncursesw.so into a ldscript which will link automatically as
needed to libtinfow so so this change is seamless at compile time.

Along with the termcap database, ncurses will now lookup for the
terminfo database, note that the terminfo database is being looked
up first and then it fallsback on the termcap one.
While here drop our custom reader for the termcap database, over the
time it is needed maintenance to be able to catchup with changes on ncurses
side.
Install the ncurses tools which are needed to deal with the terminfo
database: tic, infocmp, toe
Replace our termcap only aware tools with the ncurses counterpart:
tput, tabs, tset, clear and reset
In particular they can your the extra capabilities described in the
terminfo database, which does not exist in termcap
Note that to add a new terminfo information to the database from ports
the ports will just need to add their extra information into:
/usr/local/share/site-terminfo/<firstletteroftheterm>/<term>

Only keep the widechar version of ncurses as libncursesw.so.9
Keep the old name to avoid breaking the ABI compatibility (the non
widechar version libncurses.so.9 is not binary compatible with
libncursesw.so.9) since all ports and base are already only linking
against the widechar version we can simply remove libncurses.so.9
Since the .9 version only lived in the dev branch and never ended in a
release, it is simply removed and not added to any binary compat
package.
Add symlinks to keep build time compatibility for anyone linking against
-lncurses
- first line is $FreeBSD$
- Reorder special variables: DPADD, LPADD, CFLAGS
- Use = instead of += for variables that are initially empty
- Use space instead of tab after :
- Use one tab after =
- Use .SUFFIXES for section 3 manual page which simplifies Makefile a lot
- Use SHAREDIR instead of /usr/share
- Remove SRCDIR in INCS since we set .PATH properly
- Use plural in variable name when it stands for more that one source file
