Rework the generation of the linker script to make it in par with
ldscript, this also forces the regeneration of the .aldscript in the obj

Introduce the notion of static linker scripts to allow libncursesw.a to
track its dependency on libtinfow.a
this allows the build of older freebsd source tree to happen and make
static linking in part with dynamic linking which already provides a
ldscript
This fixes a bootstrapping FreeBSD 12 or 13 on recent FreeBSD 14

after the split, curses.h is now generated by tinfo Makefile, but
still used for a file generated in ncurses lib. Adjust the path to
make sure curses.h is always found
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.

In preparation for the move of the database out of base, add one more
path to lookup
Now the default lookup path is
1. base
2. localbase
3. localbase special site for custom terminfo (for ports adding custom
terminfo and avoid potential collision with the general db)
4. termcap
The plan is to allow the terminfo-db to be installed by end users via
a package for people willing to have the support for features from
this database provides. And keep the fallback on termcap for people who
don't want to hear about the terminfo db or how to configure the terminal
if it uses by default the features proposed in the definitions
of the terminfo db.
the first look up path is a window open for a proposal made by glebius@
consisting on creating a tool where the user at install time will select
the feature it want for a given terminal and generate its configurations
based on that. I won't work on it, but it is now posssible and there is
a path where to store those definitions

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>

A few shared libraries in the base system link against ncurses. An
upgrade from a 12.x host to 13 results in ABI breakage for existing
binaries since the newer versions of these libraries link against the
newer ncurses while the binary itself links against the older ncurses.
For example, dialog4ports built on 12.x sometimes crashes on 13 since
it depends on libdialog which links against ncurses internally.

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
GCC's cpp was exiting immediately when it failed to find requested
includes (<ncurses_cfg.h> and <ncurses_defs.h>). clang-cpp emitted an
error for the missing header files but continued processing the file
(thus not honoring any macros defined in the missing headers).
Arguably, the awk script is buggy since it doesn't check the return
value of the command it executes.

ABI has change in between ncurses 5 or 6. While theorically ncurses 6 is buildable with
backward compatibility, I fail at building in a way where the application linked against
the previous version of ncurses are rendering properly.
Let's go on the new ABI which provides all the latest features.
A compat12x package is cooking for backward compatibility
Among the changes from before:
- Add support for extended colors on widechar version
- Enable ncurses extended functions
- Enable version 2 of the extended mouse support
- Enable SCREEN extensions
Modification that differs from upstream:
- _nc_delink_entries used to be exposed and was turn static,
turn it back as dynamic to not break abi
- Adapt our old termcap.c to modern ncurses

The script uses shift three times and when building with a strict /bin/sh
shifting without any arguments will cause the script to fail. In this case
the target will fail and we write an empty output file. When doing a
NO_CLEAN build after this will mean fallback.c is up to date and clang
will happily compile the empty input file which leads to strange build
errors later.
Fixed by passing three empty arguments to MkFallback.sh and only creating
fallback.c if MKfallback.sh succeeds.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

This avoids 'build command changed' due to CFLAGS/CC changes during the
normal build. Without this the build-tools targets end up rebuilding
for the *target* rather than keeping the native versions built in
build-tools.
