sideshowbarker ea15484700 Documentation: List ncurses as a build dependency
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.)
