Remove REPLACE_CURSES from bsd.pkg.mk (not needed anymore), and don't
document it and USE_CURSES in Packages.txt anymore (packages should really use devel/ncurses/buildlink.mk instead).

==============================
Some packages need curses functionality that wasn't present in NetBSD's own
-curses prior to 1.4Y. For packages using such functionality there are two
-options, setting USE_CURSES or including ../../devel/ncurses/buildlink.mk
-in the package's Makefile.
-
-
- 10.20.1 USE_CURSES
- ===================
-
-If USE_CURSES is set in a package's Makefile, NEED_NCURSES is set
-automatically to YES or NO, depending on whether a dependency on ncurses is
-needed on this system. You can use this variable to e.g. add arguments to
-configure to tell the package whether to use ncurses.
-
-Additionally, you can set REPLACE_NCURSES to some filenames; in each of
-these files, each occurrence of 'ncurses' is replaced by 'curses' if the
-package doesn't need ncurses. You may need this in some cases if ncurses
-are installed, and the package's configure script prefers ncurses.
-
-For example, in pkgsrc/mail/mutt, the relevant lines are:
-
- USE_CURSES= YES
- REPLACE_NCURSES= configure configure.in
- ...
- .include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
-
- .if defined(NEED_NCURSES) && ${NEED_NCURSES} == "YES"
- CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-curses=${LOCALBASE}
- .endif
-
-Please note that the check for NEED_NCURSES has to be below the
-inclusion of bsd.prefs.mk, since the variable is set there.

- 10.20.2 devel/ncurses/buildlink.mk
- ==================================
+curses prior to 1.4Y.
If ../../devel/ncurses/buildlink.mk is included in a package's Makefile,
then a curses library and headers with ncurses functionality are linked
