Subject: [PATCH 3/5] kconfig: nconf: get rid of (void) casts from wattrset() calls

This reverts commit 10175ba65fde ("nconfig: Silence unused return values
from wattrset").

With recent GCC versions used, I no longer see "value computed is not
used" warnings even without the (void) casts.

The wattrset() used to be a macro like this:

  #define wattrset(win,at) \
          (NCURSES_OK_ADDR(win) \
            ? ((win)->_attrs = NCURSES_CAST(attr_t, at), \
               OK) \
            : ERR)

The GCC bugzilla [1] reported a false-positive -Wunused-value warning
in a similar test case. It was fixed by GCC 4.4.1.

Let's revert that commit, and see if somebody will claim the issue.
