Apple M1 support: Disable ncurses frontend in kconfig-frontends

[ThomasDebrunner]

There are some issues compiling kconfig-frontends with the ncurses frontend on Apple Silicon. For now, this PR disables the compilation of that specific frontent on arm.

This is on top of #79
Both PRs together should make the px4-dev formula now succeed on Apple Silicon

Hey @ThomasDebrunner, this MR looks very useful. Is there anything delaying this MR from merging? Thanks

[ThomasDebrunner]

@ben-xD I think that's good to go. Has been 6 months since I did this, can you confirm it stil works on a fresh system? Tbh, there are probably some more dependencies in there that are no longer required
@TSC21 Can you review that?

[Sitin]

Any progress with this?

Hey, is there a way where I can manually download this pr despite it not being merged with the official formula?
Many thanks.

I can confirm this is working. Tried with jmavsim. Gazebo-classic has cv2 issue (not detecting it) which trying to figure out.

[ThomasDebrunner]

@farhangnaderi I am not maintaining this anymore, is it worth to merge this PR now and fix remaining things in other PRs?

[farhangnaderi]

It seems ok to me Thomas.
For instance, another issue is that jMavsim has to be pointed to x64 version of openjdk not arm64 so that a library is going to work.

export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home

I guess you are right, better to merge it as it is and leave the rest for future or we temporarily document it somewhere.
Native builds on arm64 are extremely power-saving and fast. :)

@SalimTerryLi FYI!
