[PATCH 08/45] man/curs_legacy.3x: Drop "NOTES" section.

[G. Branden Robinson]

This material about macro available and opaque functions no longer seems
necessary now that ncurses, as of 6.5, builds using the "opaque" ABI by
default.  The opaque configuration is no longer mentioned in the
"ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS" section of "ncurses.3x", so that reference is
stale.  Checking of the preprocessor symbol "NCURSES_OPAQUE" would now
be done only for specialized environments that have a separate,
non-opaque ncurses library available.
