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.

Since METAMODE has been added, sys.mk loads bsd.mkopt.mk which ends load loading
bsd.own.mk which then defines SHLIBDIR before all the Makefile.inc everywhere.
This makes /lib being populated again.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.
