libpayload: Add PDCurses and ncurses' libform/libmenu
PDCurses provides an alternative implementation of the curses library standard in addition to tinycurses. Where tinycurses is really tiny, PDCurses is more complete and provides virtually unlimited windows and the full API. The PDCurses code is brought in "vanilla", with all local changes residing in curses/pdcurses-backend/ In addition to a curses library, this change also provides libpanel (as part of the PDCurses code), and libform and libmenu which were derived from ncurses-5.9. As they rely on ncurses internals (and PDCurses is not ncurses), more changes were required for these libraries to work. The build system is extended to install the right set of header files depending on the selected curses implementation.

+PDCurses for DOS
+================
+
+This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to DOS.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+. Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:
+
+ bccdos.mak - Borland C++ 3.0+
+ gccdos.mak - DJGPP V2
+ mscdos.mak - Microsoft C
+ wccdos16.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (16-bit)
+ wccdos4g.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (32-bit)
+
+. For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL in the makefile.
+ (Large model is the default, and recommended.)
+
+. Optionally, you can build in a different directory than the platform
+ directory by setting PDCURSES_SRCDIR to point to the directory where
+ you unpacked PDCurses, and changing to your target directory:
+
+ set PDCURSES_SRCDIR=c:\pdcurses
+
+. Build it:
+
+ make -f makefile
+
+ (For Watcom, use "wmake" instead of "make"; for MSVC, "nmake".) You'll
+ get the libraries (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler; and
+ panel.lib or .a), the demos (*.exe), and a lot of object files. Note
+ that the panel library is just a copy of the main library, provided
+ for convenience; both panel and curses functions are in the main
+ library.
+
+
+Distribution Status
