[gpsd-dev] GPSD Compile warnings with GCC-8 on Devuan Beowulf

I got fed up with systemd entanglement on one of our 
nameservers/timeservers today so flattened it and rebuilt it with Devuan 
Beowulf (like Debian Buster but systemd free) - these OSes come with 
GCC-8 which brings new compile warnings to an otherwise clean build:

gpsmon.c: In function 'monitor_vcomplain':
gpsmon.c:393:5: warning: 'vwprintw' is deprecated 
[-Wdeprecated-declarations]
     (void)vwprintw(cmdwin, (char *)fmt, ap);
     ^
In file included from gpsmon.h:11,
                 from gpsmon.c:32:

                            ^~~~~~~~
