Bug#852765: Workaround for netcat-opebsd issue

Hi.

I encountered this issue recently on Debian testing as well, and found this bug. Uninstalling netcat-openbsd didn't sound
like a good idea, so I found this issue opened for it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=849192[1] 

Basically, nc -q behaves differently and can hang now. Replacing it with nc -N can work around it. nc is used in
/usr/share/playonlinux/lib/setupwindow.lib

Replace nc -q with nc -N there, and POL will work fine with netcat-openbsd as well.

I attach a patch with that fix.

Regards,
Hillel Lubman.
