If ncurses is installed, but at a non-default location, the previous
error message was not helpful in resolving the situation. Now it will
suggest that pkg-config might need to be installed in addition to
ncurses.

Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression:
"I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system
location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this
case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when
libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
where make menuconfig would be possibly run."
For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.
For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it
for finding the installation paths of the required packages.
Fixes: 4ab3b80159 ("kconfig: check for pkg-config on make {menu,n,g,x}config")

The mconf (or its infrastructure, lxdiaglog) depends on the ncurses.
Move and rename check-lxdialog.sh to mconf-cfg.sh to make it work in
the same way as for qconf and gconf.
This commit fixes some more weirdnesses.
The nconf also needs ncurses packages. HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf is set
to the libraries needed for nconf, but the cflags is not explicitly
set. Actually, nconf relies on the check-lxdialog.sh for the proper
cflags:
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ccflags) \
-DLOCALE
The code above passes the ncurses flags to all objects, even for conf,
qconf, gconf. Let's pass the ncurses flags only to mconf and nconf.
Currently, the presence of ncurses is not checked for nconf. Let's
show a prompt like the mconf case.
According to Randy's report, the shell scripts still need to carry
the fallback code in case the pkg-config fails to find the ncurses
packages.
