    cmake: detect and use libc-provided iconv While most systems provide a separate iconv library against which applications can link, musl based systems do not provide such a library. Instead, iconv functions are directly included in the C library. As our current CMake module to locate the iconv library only checks whether a library exists somewhere in the typical library directories, we will never build libgit2 with libiconv support on such systems. Extend the iconv module to also search whether libc provides iconv functions, which we do by checking whether the `iconv_open` function exists inside of libc. If this is the case, we will default to use the libc provided one instead of trying to use a separate libiconv. While this changes which iconv we use on systems where both libc and an external libiconv exist, to the best of my knowledge common systems only provide either one or the other. Note that libiconv support in musl is held kind of basic. To quote musl libc's page on functional differences from glibc [1]: The iconv implementation musl is very small and oriented towards being unobtrusive to static link. Its character set/encoding coverage is very strong for its size, but not comprehensive like glibc’s. As we assume iconv to be a lot more capable than what musl provides, some of our tests will fail if using iconv on musl-based platforms.
