menuconfig: Work around crash on resize on some macOS systems

get_wch() has started raising curses.error when resizing the terminal on
some macOS Python installations. Work around for now by falling back on
getch(), which still works.

See https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/issues/84. Needs more
investigation, but I don't have a Mac handy.

Based on https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/pull/85, but with some
more comments.
