[issue31680] Expose curses library name and version on Python level

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com>:

The name and the version of the curses library are needed for work around bugs in old versions or skip tests on platforms that provide broken curses library (like OpenBSD providing ncurses 5.7).

The curses and _curses modules provide the attribute "version" (= b'2.2'), but this is just a version of the module.
