[PATCH 07/30] man/curs_inopts.3x: Improve terminological discipline.

The echo option is associated with a screen, not a window.

This man page is about input options, which can attach to terminals
(SCREENs) or windows (WINDOWs).  Consistently use the term "option" to
refer to these data, not "flag"; cf. terminal driver "flags".
