ncurses: libcurses.so should link to libncurses.so

The current libcurses (backward compat) links to libncurses.so.5.9,
this causes a problem since this library also needs libtinfo, the
libncurses.so, uses a "ld script" to include both, libcurses.so
should point to libncurses.so (the script) not the library.
