[3.14] gh-110904: Recommend windows-curses in the curses HOWTO (GH-152491) (GH-152507)

The HOWTO pointed at UniCurses, which is unmaintained and exposes its own
API.  windows-curses provides the standard curses interface on Windows, so
existing code runs unchanged.
(cherry picked from commit 7b0dff7d16ce59df44847ab04567eb97bfbc3576)
