Move windows-curses dependency to an optional extra (#1395)

* Move windows-curses dependency to an optional extra

Python 3.11 wheels for windows-curses are [not yet available][1], and this
meant that python-can could not be installed on windows with Python
3.11. Since windows-curses is only used in viewer.py, change the
dependnecy to an optional extra.
