…H-156354) (GH-156873)

window.encoding does not encode the string arguments on a build with
wide-character support: the curses library converts the characters itself.

In the HOWTO: getch() returns -1, not curses.ERR, when there is no input,
and half-delay mode does the same as no-delay mode.  getkey() returns the
key name only for a special key.  leaveok() is not a synonym for curs_set().
getstr() returns a bytes object, interprets the erase and kill characters,
and limits bytes.  The ACS_* constants are not all larger than 255.
Also document get_wch() before getch(), and read whole characters in the
example.

(cherry picked from commit 161054c)
