Ports/ncurses: Check for proper tic version during install

MacOS ships with an out of date ncurses that can't properly generate
terminfo from the newer source code. This change checks for a valid
`tic` executable of the proper version, first in PATH and then in
the Homebrew cellar if brew is installed. Otherwise it aborts
installation.

See comment in the code as well as the following for details:
