build: fix host menu config targets using ncurses

On a recent Gentoo Linux installation, invoking `make menuconfig`, `make
kernel_menuconfig` or `make kernel_nconfig` in the build system fails,
whereas for example `make menuconfig` in the kernel tree alone works as
expected.

This is happening because STAGING_PREFIX is not defined when kernel's
{menu,n}config target calls pkg-config from the toolchain/host and thus
pkg-config returns an empty value, and the fallback values in the kernel
config script are applied but those are off and the linking fails.

Solution is to use system's pkg-config for all ncurses based menu config
targets in order to provide proper compiler/linker flags.
