    noping: Fix compatibility with ncurses 5.8.
    
    Hello,
    
    My name is Gaetan and I maintain liboping in Arch Linux; our distro is
    in the process of switching to ncurses-5.8, and I wanted to report that
    I had to patch liboping to make noping work with the newer ncurses.
    
    Specifically, if I update ncurses and run the old noping binary, then
    nothing is displayed in the ncurses window (although the summary output
    displayed on stdout at the end is correct). Same if I recompile noping
    against the new ncurses library.
    
    The reason seems to be that calling newwin() with ncols=0 does not
    produce a full width window anymore. Anyway, the simple patch attached
    fixed this issue for me.
    
    Cheers.
