Patch to remove additional reference of NEWT_FLAG_NOSCROLL

Description of problem:
In a perl script 

use Newt qw(:flags);

produces:
"NEWT_FLAG_NOSCROLL" is not exported by the Newt module

Also, if you look at "man Newt" you will see a misspelling in the middle:
       Drawing panels instead uf running them

And this at the end:

POD ERRORS
       Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained
below:

       Around line 860:
           You forgot a ’=back’ before ’=head1’



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.08-21

How reproducible:
Install perl-Newt, use :flags as part of the list of things.

Actual results:
See above

Expected results:
No errors; no misspellings

Additional info:
Attached are two patch files to correct the problems along with a modified spec
file.  Since the newt-perl-1.08-debian.patch removed the one
NEWT_FLAG_NOSCROLL, I am assuming that it should be removed.  Otherwise, the
export patch should be removed and the debian patch modified to leave
NEWT_FLAG_NOSCROLL in place.
