Double lines now work under ncurses.

It was not even ncurses's fault, we shouldn't have blamed it.

Related to already fixed ticket #3158.

(Double lines in ncurses don't work in KOI8-R locale, combined with ncurses versions before 6.5-20251115, due to an ncurses bug. Single lines are used instead. It's such a minor use case and will quickly vanish as distros upgrade their ncurses that I see no point in mentioning it in the manuals.)
