ncurses: use a default escape delay of 25ms
* this practically fixes the delay issues when using
the escape key since 25ms is too short for humans to notice.
Still it should be large enough for all practical terminal
emulators and transmission speeds to get escape sequences
transmitted.
* If the escape delay turns out to be too short, it can still
be overwritten using the (standard ncurses) $ESCDELAY environment
variable.
* fnkeys.tes will still provide the escape surrogate since the
insert key will often be in a better possition on computer
keyboards.
