Overhaul everything
- Add all C header files from ncurses 6.3. - Re-translate from scratch those header files which have been translated. The combination of major ABI changes in ncurses 6, plus a history of people finding bugs in the bindings indicating their inaccuracy, makes for a good argument to take a scorched earth approach and perform a fresh translation of the headers, automating it as much as possible, and deviating from the C code as little as possible to aid in future maintenance efforts. - Restructure the package layout to be consistent with other Deimos projects. Note that, being an implementation of a POSIX standard, ncurses places its header files (such as "form.h") directly under /usr/include. Therefore, the corresponding D module is at "deimos.form". - Switch to ".di" files. Ensure no object code need to be generated. This simplifies linking (e.g. building a program using ncurses without dub / rdmd / dmd -i), and is closer in spirit to C header files. - Add "pragma(inline, true)" to functions implementing C macros, to guarantee that compilers don't assume object code for them exists somewhere. - Convert all dub.json files to SDLang. (SDLang is the winner format as it allows documenting decisions made in writing the build description.) - Use "path" directive in examples' dub.sdl files to make them use the current checkout instead of what's committed on the master branch. - Delete ISSUES as these are better tracked using an issue tracking system (https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/ncurses/issues). - Delete AUTHORS as this is better tracked by the Git history. dub.sdl has a list as well. - Delete the non-standard "nclear" alias. (Presumably disambiguator for object.clear before that was removed.)
