Curses: support cycling through long lists of possible auto-completions and optimized screen refreshing/redrawing
* pressing e.g. TAB when the popup is showing a list of auto-completions
will show the next page, eventually beginning at the first one again.
* do not redraw curses windows in the UI methods directly. this resulted
in flickering during command-line editing macros and ordinary macro calls
because the physical screen was updated immediately.
Instead, window refreshing and updated is done centrally in
event_loop_iter() only after a key has been processed.
Also we use wnoutrefresh() and doupdate() to send as little to the
terminal (emulator) as possible.
