Do not automatically install windows-curses on Windows

It breaks installation with pip on MSYS2, and Kconfiglib can still be
useful without the terminal menuconfig.

Unfortunately, MSYS2 seems tricky to identify via environment markers
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0508/#environment-markers).

This has breakage/annoyance potential, as windows-curses now needs to be
installed manually. The major Kconfiglib version will be increased.
Sorry if this change caused problems!
