gh-133579: consistently report C curses function failures (#134327)
Some curses module-level functions and window methods now raise
a `curses.error` when a call to a C curses function fails:

- Module-level functions: assume_default_colors, baudrate, cbreak,
  echo, longname, initscr, nl, raw, termattrs, termname, and unctrl.
- Window methods: addch, addnstr, addstr, border, box, chgat,
  getbkgd, inch, insstr, and insnstr.

In addition, `curses.window.refresh` and `curses.window.noutrefresh`
now raise a `TypeError` instead of a `curses.error` when called with an
incorrect number of arguments for pads.

changes.
