contrib/bsddialog: Import version 0.3
New features overview:
 * Unicode. User interface handles multi-column characters. API can
   handle char* like a multibyte character string. Internally wide
   characters are used for keyboard input, to adapt word wrapping and
   dynamic text auto-sizing for multi-column characters.
 * Forms refactoring. Complete rewrite deleting libformw dependency.
 * Theme. New utility options to save and load custom theme at run-time.
 * TUI navigation. Added keys to navigate input components. Changed
   default focus behavior of input dialogs to be LGPL-dialog-like; a new
   option can set the previous whiptail-like behavior.

See /usr/src/contrib/bsddialog/CHANGELOG '2022-08-29 Version 0.3'
for more detailed information.
