build: Check curses "bool" type compatibility

curses.h may define its own "bool" type, because the X/Open Curses
standard defines "bool" that predates C99 "bool". If curses.h "bool" is
not compatible with ISO C, fail at configure time.

(The C23 standard now makes "bool" a keyword so that a
"typedef /*whatever*/ bool;" is no longer portable. This is a bug that
curses implementations should fix.)

Solaris 11 is known to ship with a broken curses.h header (the default
curses, not ncurses).
