Add the wide-character counterparts of the ACS_* line-drawing codes as complexchar cells, added to the module by initscr() and newterm() like the ACS_* ones.

Also add the double-line and thick-line families provided by ncurses, which have no ACS_* counterpart.

They are the counterparts of the ACS_* line-drawing codes as complexchar
cells, added to the module by initscr() and newterm() like the ACS_* ones.
Besides the codes that mirror the ACS_* ones, ncurses provides the
double-line and thick-line families, which have no ACS_* counterpart.
