PATCH: configure - use ncurses (not only ncursesw) before tinfo

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I've noticed that Zsh shipped with Mageia doesn't include zsh/curses
module. Trying to build Zsh revealed the cause: Mageia ships with
libncurses, not libncursesw and the relevant part in configure.ac
says:

termcap_curses_order="$ncursesw_test tinfo termcap $ncurses_test curses" ;;

The width of the curses library is irrelevant to Zsh - it only needs
the terminal sequences from the library, which aren't associated to
any Unicode topic. As for the part that actually is relevant to the
Unicode - the zsh/curses module - it is still better to build it
without the multibyte support than not to build it at all.

Not to say that libncurses libraries today do have multibyte support.
So the conservative terminal-library order doesn't have any support in
reality. The patch changes the order to:

termcap_curses_order="$ncursesw_test $ncurses_test tinfo termcap curses" ;;
