Import a stock copy of ncurses 5.8 into the vendor space.vendor/ncurses/5.8-20110226

It seems both local changes we made to 5.7 have already been fixed
upstream properly, so there is no need to preserve the changes. Also,
with SVN we import full source trees. Unlike CVS, where we removed
unneeded cruft.

 Portability (or lack thereof):
 
 + Users of older System V UNIXes (but not Solaris, and probably not SVr4) may
   trip over a known problem with the signal-handling code which causes abrupt
   termination of ncurses applications following resume from a ^Z suspend (this
   problem was first seen running lynx).  You will not see this problem if you

 + In theory, vwprintw and vwscanf are supposed to use the older varargs.h
   interface for handling variadic argument lists (and are deprecated by X/Open
-  for that reason).  Linux doesn't have varargs.h, it has the newer
-  X/Open-standard stdargs.h equivalent.  So these functions use stdargs
-  instead.  This is unlikely to be a problem unless you're building ncurses on
-  a System V old enough to only have varargs.h.  (Solaris 2.5.1 used the
-  stdarg.h binding as well).
