On the host, we generally build and install a shared library rather
than a static version of libraries. In this specific case, we will
want to build host-gettext, which builds a shared library that depends
on ncurses. And this doesn't work well if ncurses is static because it
hasn't been built with -fPIC. Therefore, let's build ncurses as shared
on the host.

Disable C++ and Ada bindings in host-ncurses, since those are not
needed. Save 9 seconds of build time on my laptop.

The installation of manpages during the installation step of
host-ncurses and ncurses is horribly slow, and useless. This commit
therefore disables the installation of those manpages, using the
--without-manpages configuration option.
It brings the combined host-ncurses+ncurses configure/build/install
time from 3 minutes and 18 seconds to 1 minute and 36 seconds.

Use the <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS mechanism in all packages for which it
does all what the package was doing. A few packages, like libxslt, are
for now left out, since they need some additional fixup (for example a
fixup of includedir).

There is no real reason to keep copyright notices in just four
packages, while none of the other packages have such copyright
notices.
The license is already clearly announced by the COPYING file in the
top Buildroot source directory. The authors are clearly credited
through the Git history of the project.

Bumping to 5.9 has two nice side-effects:
* It builds fine on noMMU architectures such as Blackfin, which will
fix build failures like
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/cf3e6a95c82b60d63da041293db576a8f21f9136/build-end.log.
* It installs a pkg-config file, which will allow gpsd to find
ncurses properly, without the need to use ncurses5-config, which
means we can get rid of one of our gpsd patches. Thanks to Mike
Frysinger for pointing the new --enable-pc-files option.
After this bump, I build tested a large number of the ncurses reverse
dependencies we have in Buildroot, and they all built fine.
Thanks to Gustavo Zacarias for the investigation on why ncurses 5.9
why segfaulting: it turned out to be caused by the
--enable-broken-linker configure option.

There was a typo in the name of the variable to register the hook,
which prevent the hook from actually being called.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

The option was removed from Config.in in 58508f39c (ncurses: remove
dedicated target-headers option), so remove it from the makefile as
well.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.

The ln -sf command would fail if $TARGET_DIR/usr/lib/terminfo already exists
as we don't have write permissions to the symlink target. Fixed by adding
-n option (don't dereference link).
