curses.complexstr concatenation returns NotImplemented instead of raising #156963

Description

@fedonman

curses.complexstr returns Py_NotImplemented from its sq_concat slot for a non-complexstr operand, and PyNumber_Add() returns an sq_concat result verbatim, so the singleton reaches Python code instead of a TypeError.

import curses

s = curses.complexstr('ab')
print('s + "x" ->', repr(s + 'x'))
s += 'x'
print('after s += "x":', repr(s))
s + "x" -> NotImplemented
after s += "x": NotImplemented

Expected: TypeError from both. The augmented assignment is the same slot, so it silently rebinds the name to NotImplemented rather than failing.

complexstr is new in 3.16, so no released version is affected.
