[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] kconfig/lxdialog: fix check() with GCC14

GCC14 now treats implicit int types as error so when check() from
check-lxdialog.sh is called to check whether we can link against ncurses
it will fail silently and the help text indicating to install ncurses is
printed.

However, this is not due to missing ncurses but once the stderr redirect
to /dev/null is removed we can see the root cause:
<stdin>:2:1: error: return type defaults to ‘int’ [-Wimplicit-int]

So, in order for menuconfig to work with GCC14 lets just specify the
return type of main() as int.
