Missing ERR define

Missing ERR define

I'm compiling zsh on a debian sarge system without using the curses
libraries (i.e. I'm not specifying --with-curses-terminfo).  This setup
skips the check for curses.h.  Unfortunately, that means that ERR does
not get defined (since it is only found in curses.h and ncurses.h on my
system), and thus the compiling of Src/Modules/terminfo.c fails.

The attached patch defines ERR to -1 if it is not already defined.  Is
this the right way to deal with this?

No.  This is part of the terminfo configuration rewrite that got held
up because we needed to rewrite everything else first...

The right fix is to make sure curses.h is always included, which means
changing the configure tests.
