perf: add slang to the dependencies

* TUI/GUI support was added in 2.6.35 based on libnewt
* since 3.10 slang replaced libnewt completly
* changing TUI_DEFINES is not necessary, because NO_NEWT is
  still respected with newer kernels
* add comment about the gui history to the recipe

The patch was sponsored by sysmocom
