bump(main/ncurses): 6.6.20260124

[fornwall]

Update from 6.5.20240831 to 6.6.20260124. Notes:

• Quite a lof of small changes: https://github.com/ThomasDickey/ncurses-snapshots/commits/master/
• Release notes of 6.6: Announcing ncurses 6.6
• ncurses is a very central package in the dependency change - a lot depends on it directly or indirectly.
• The maintainer is generally quite careful with backward compatibility.
• Have done some basic testing with packages like vim, tmux, less and similar and haven't noticed anything yet.

CI currently fails due to codeberg.org being down (so downloading https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/archive/1.25.0.tar.gz fails).

Looks like Codeberg is experiencing an outage right now.

So it can't get foot's terminfo.

• As a heads up, in anticipation of addpkg(x11/wezterm): 20240203-110809-5046fc22 #28000 (comment) I would also like to start shipping the wezterm terminfo file as part of ncurses.
  That can be done as part of either PR, or independently of either.

Not sure if I will personally merge wezterm or not unless someone specifically asks for it again and says they are fine with its current state, since I am not really satisfied with it not having GPU acceleration support in Termux, because kitty does, so I feel like many users might expect it to have the same kind of GPU support as kitty and could be disappointed if it doesn't.

Codeberg's back online, so I'm rebasing this PR to trigger a rerun of the CI.

Edit: Oh right the Python 3.13 rebuilds are still happening, this might sit in the queue for a while...

Adding terminfo files for popular terminals probably makes regardless if they are packaged in termux or not, as it will improve the experience for people ssh:ing into termux from these terminals.

Hm, regarding wezterm terminfo, I see that it's included in ncurses itself, and that is what arch ships?

• https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/wezterm/-/issues/2
• https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/wezterm/-/merge_requests/1

OTOH https://dev.to/burnskp/fix-wezterms-terminfo-on-arch-1k0a says:

Arch Linux pulls the terminfo for wezterm from the ncurses package. This contains an older terminfo that doesn’t contain as many features. For example, neovim’s set title doesn’t work with this terminfo.

But I don't know how up-to-date that statement is, or if the ncurses terminfo is up-to-date nowadays?
