ncurses: bump to 5.9
Bumping to 5.9 has two nice side-effects: * It builds fine on noMMU architectures such as Blackfin, which will fix build failures like http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/cf3e6a95c82b60d63da041293db576a8f21f9136/build-end.log. * It installs a pkg-config file, which will allow gpsd to find ncurses properly, without the need to use ncurses5-config, which means we can get rid of one of our gpsd patches. Thanks to Mike Frysinger for pointing the new --enable-pc-files option. After this bump, I build tested a large number of the ncurses reverse dependencies we have in Buildroot, and they all built fine. Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for the investigation on why ncurses 5.9 why segfaulting: it turned out to be caused by the --enable-broken-linker configure option.

+Change handling of PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
+
+When PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR was unset in the environment, the configure
+script was deducing the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR from the location of the
+pkg-config binary, which doesn't make a lot of sense, and isn't done
+by other autotools based packages.
+
+Also, the configure script was checking that the directory really
+exists. This forced to create the directory *and* provide an absolute
+path in PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, which didn't play well with the fact that
+at installation time, PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is suffixed to DESTDIR, which
+means that we got two times the staging directory location.
+
+This patch fixes both of those issues. Also, since ncurses uses a fork
+of autoconf 2.13, we can't simply use _AUTORECONF=YES, so we also fix
+the configure script in this patch.
