support/kconfig: ppply upstream nconfig ncurses/ncursesw fix

Buildroot's "make nconfig" command stopped working a while ago on
Gentoo systems. Running the command would result in a crash.

The issue is caused by lxdialog's cflags which are also used to build
nconfig; It would detect *ncursesw* and turn on WIDECHAR support --
but the Makefile would still link to plain *ncurses* while building
nconfig (which was built without WIDECHAR support).

This would cause a crash after using *wattrset* on a WINDOW instance.
WIDECHAR *wattrset* would try to set the _color member in the WINDOW
struct which does not exist in the NON-WIDECHAR ncurses instance. It
would end up clobbering data outside the struct (usually _line entries).

An upstream patch fixes the issue, so we're applying it to Buildroot's
kconfig.

+Subject: kconfig: nconfig: fix multi-byte UTF handling
+
+Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters
+(such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the
+'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same
+window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu'
+library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters
+properly.
+
+The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these
+UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source
+level. Use it by default, if available.
