general: disable the type-ahead checking that ncurses normally does

While updating the screen, ncurses by default polls the input source
now and then to see if there is new input, and if so, stops updating
the screen and waits for the next call of doupdate() or refresh().

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2024-05/msg00077.html

Disable this polling, as it is just a waste of time, and there *might*
be situations where the intruding keystroke does not actually trigger
a new update, which could result in a half-updated screen.
