Default to +termlib for ncurses for LLVM (#15039)
LLVM is the only package that explicitly sets the "termlib" variant of ncurses and it specifies +termlib. ncurses defaults to ~termlib; if a package depends on LLVM and ncurses, there is a concretizer bug that incorrectly detects a constraint conflict (see #267). Setting +termlib as the default is a stopgap measure to avoid this conflict. If other packages were to explicitly request ~termlib in the future, the same issue would come up again (and could not be resolved by adjusting the default of "termlib"). Setting +termlib on ncurses moves some symbols into a separate "libtinfo". Not all packages may be able to detect libtinfo properly so may require an update; vim, samtools, and libedit have been updated to use ncurses+termlib (in the case of libedit, the only necessary action was to add a newer version where the build system was updated to check libtinfo).
