from NCURSES_TINFO_6.6.20251230 to NCURSES_TINFO_6.6.20260516.

If ncurses is configured --with-versioned-syms, as in Debian and its
derivatives, this change breaks tic from ncurses 6.6 when the libraries
are updated:
,----
| # tic -V
| ncurses 6.6.20251231
| # dpkg -i libtinfo6_6.6+20260607-1_amd64.deb

`----
I think the version of _nc_is_path_found should be reverted to
NCURSES_TINFO_6.6.20251230 to avoid this ABI break. Partial upgrades
would still break on installations which already have ncurses
6.6-20260516 or higher installed, but there are probably rather few of
such systems, at least who have symbol versioning enabled.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Sven
