ncurses: disable C++ bindings for static FreeBSD cross builds 

The static FreeBSD cross stdenv has libc++ headers searched after C
library headers, causing libc++'s `#include_next` mechanism to fail.
libc++'s <cstdlib> includes <stdlib.h> expecting its own wrapper, but
finds the C library's header directly and errors out.

The C++ bindings (libncurses++) are optional and not needed by any
current consumers of ncurses-static (readline, bash-interactive).
