[Buildroot] [git commit] kconfig/lxdialog: get ncurses CFLAGS with pkg-config

commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=886805126201b62865c31596746d3824edd43234
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This makes "make menuconfig" also work on systems where ncurses is not
installed in a standard location (such as on NixOS).

This patch changes ccflags() so that it tries pkg-config first, and only
if pkg-config fails does it go back to the fallback/manual checks. This
is the same algorithm that ldflags() already uses.

[This patch is already applied upstream (is part of linux v3.18):
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=be8af2d54a66911693eddc556e4f7a866670082b

I'm adding this instead of doing a full upstream kconfig sync because
there was a conflict in one of the Buildroot kconfig patches (against
linux 3.18-rc1), which I was unable to resolve. Just drop this patch next time
Buildroot kconfig is synced against upstream.
