Documentation: List ncurses as a build dependency

Browse source 
Problem: “configure: error: libncurses, libcurses, libtermcap or
libtinfo is required!” local-build failure in vcpkg libedit compilation.

Cause: dfb2656 replaced the in-tree LibLine with libedit, which vcpkg
builds, and libedit’s configure needs system ncurses (or termcap/tinfo).

Fix: Add the ncurses dev package to dependency lists for distros that
ship it separately: libncurses-dev on Debian/Ubuntu, and ncurses-devel
on Fedora/openSUSE/Void — and into the dev-container install scripts.
(Arch and macOS already ship the necessary headers.)

If one or more of the base repository packages are flagged as having an out-of-date version during the build process, you may need add the `devel:tools:building` repository. For example, on Leap 15.6, the `autoconf` package might be version 2.69, whereas the `gperf` package requires 2.70 to build.
