notcurses: upgrade to 2.1.8

New upstream release of crate, matching the version (2.1.7) in the archive.

Added explicit libncurses-dev dep to debcargo.toml to resolve linking problem. It's possible that I need add this to the main libnotcurses-dev package; I'm looking into it. If I do so for 2.1.8+, I'll remove the dep here.

Bumped forward to 2.1.8 to match unstable, and added empty RFS file.

Seen that the library version goes from 2.1.0 to 2.1.8.

I feel uncomfortable to approve a lib at this point in the release cycle.

The library on which it's based just went to 2.1.8 in Unstable, and is going into Testing tomorrow: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/notcurses. These are just wrappers. The library itself is an actively-developed one, hence the rapidly changing version number (I'm the upstream author).

Ideally these would both be built from the same source package, but that doesn't work well with the debcargo-conf approach. So I instead have to do this one following the C library's entry into unstable.

This 2.1.0 ought work, but it won't cover everything present in the core library.

With that said, if you cannot approve, I respect your decision, and appreciate you giving it a look.
