Pull kconfig updates from Michal Marek:
- use pkg-config to detect curses libraries
- clean up the way curses headers are searched
- Some randconfig fixes, of which one had to be reverted
- KCONFIG_SEED for randconfig debugging
- memuconfig memory leak plugged
- menuconfig > breadcrumbs > navigation
- xconfig compilation fix
- Other minor fixes
