Add a patch which makes generated install/install.libs targets depend on the installed shared-library set. Without this, a wide install after a narrow install can install libticw and the secondary wide libraries while leaving libncursesw.so missing.
Also patch the misc install rule to regenerate pkg-config files during install.libs instead of relying on the pc-files stamp. The stamp is not one of the generated .pc files, so an existing build tree can contain a stale stamp while the .pc files that must be installed into a clean DESTDIR are missing. Recipes such as procps use pkg-config to detect ncurses, so missing ncursesw.pc makes configure fail with errors like `ncurses support missing/incomplete`. Fixing the misc Makefile keeps the install target self-contained and avoids a recipe-side workaround that deletes ncurses' internal pc-files stamp before rerunning the misc install.
