[PATCH 32/43] man/ncurses.3x: Soften portability advice.

[G. Branden Robinson]

It's cleaner for users of the low-level curses API to #include only
term.h (particularly on systems that supply a separate "tinfo" library
housing the implementation), and it seems this should work everywhere
except on versions of AIX that were "very old" when Thomas wrote the
surrounding portability analysis in 2020.

According to IBM, support for AIX 7.1, released 2010,[1] was withdrawn
in April 2023.[2]
