#12725: termcap: copy libtermcap.a to libncurses.a

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The install scripts for PARI and Python automatically link with
`-lncurses` if `/usr/lib/libncurses.so` '''exists''', even though the mere
existence of that file doesn't guarantee that it actually can be linked.
This can happen in particular when "cross-compiling" a 32-bit Sage on a
64-bit operating system.
The build of the readline interface of PARI and Python might therefore
fail for no good reason. A solution is to copy Sage's `libtermcap.a` to
`libncurses.a`, such that `-lncurses` will always succeed.
