If the build machine lacks tic, we need to build it in the first pass
even if host==build: ncurses Makefiles are not smart enough to build
'tic' first and use the just-built tic to compile fallback terminfo.

- Allow user to specify configure arguments to pass through to host/target
ncurses.
- Checkbox for --disable-database
- String option for --with-fallbacks

This follows the trend set by 1*.sh scripts that configure ISL, GMP,
MPFR, CLooG, etc. Building with shared libraries presents all kinds
of problems:
- The shared libraries need to be installed into ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}.
- The binaries linked against companion libs need to have proper
RPATH, or they're looking for shared libs in
.build/${CT_PREFIX}/buildtools/lib.
- All libraries must agree as to whether they're built shared,
static, or both. Otherwise, gettext tries to link in static libncurses.a
into a shared library and fails (since libncurses was compiled without
the -fPIC switch and hence contains relocations that cannot be handled
in a shared library).
So this fixes the current mess. If we decide to re-enable building
the companion libs shared, we should probably make this dependent on
a separate suboption of CT_STATIC_TOOLCHAIN.
Add a config loosely based on one reported in the issue 274.

The referenced commit replaced 'make' with '${make}' everywhere. This is
wrong for at least the utilities that we may build as companion tools
(make, libtool): this will always invoke the version detected by configure
by supplying the absolute path. In other words, the wrappers in
.build/tools/bin are not fallbacks - they are either temporary (in case
a respective companion tool is built) or permanent redirectors.
This is the reason why the PATH= has .build/*/buildtools/bin at higher
precedence than .build/tools/bin; the latter has the versions detected by
configure and the former has the versions built as companion tools.
Revert the rest of the gang (grep/sed/...) for consistency. After all,
we may decide to supply some of them as well (awk, for instance).

mingw-gcc searches for include and libs in <sysroot>/mingw
directory while non-mingw-gcc uses <sysroot>/usr. This patch
sets an appropriate prefix for target companion libs.

We check for apps:
* make
* sed
* grep
* awk
* libtool/libtoolize
* install
* patch
* and more
...during configure. Our scripts should be consistent about using the
variables that define where the found tool was found.
Of course, we do hard-link these tools in buildtools, but that should be
a backup for the components we are building. Our scripts should always
use the tools we find.

This commit removes ncurses-5.9 and adds 6.0.
I also provide the stable patch updates in patches/ncurses/6.0.
I have also added an experimental toggle for enabling the new ABI
support.

Currently, builds for build and target (matching the current
implementation). Need to add building for host for canadian crosses.
TIC_PATH is removed - configure in ncurses searches $PATH, so it finds
'tic' in buildtools anyway. Arguably unneeded code for MacOS also
removed, with a FIXME comment for validation by someone using MacOS.
