bug#5735: New curses/termcap requirement for linking Emacs, but configure check missing.

["Jan Djärv" <jan.h.d@swipnet.se>]

Hello.

Since a couple of days ago may be a week), Emacs requires libncurses
development files (or similar termcap/terminfo) to link.  It didn't need that
about a week ago.

The symptoms are a lot of undefined symbols, see below.  If this has become a
new requirement, configure should look for these functions and if not found,
abort with instructions to install development files for ncurses or similar.
