btowc: Fix behaviour in the C locale.
* lib/btowc.c: Include <string.h>
(btowc): Use mbrtowc instead of mbtowc when possible.
* m4/btowc.m4 (gl_FUNC_BTOWC): Test for the mingw bug in the C locale.
Invoke gl_MBRTOWC_C_LOCALE. If mbrtowc is buggy in the C locale,
override also btowc.
(gl_PREREQ_BTOWC): Test whether mbrtowc exists.
* modules/btowc (Files): Add m4/mbrtowc.m4.
(Depends-on): Add mbrtowc.
* tests/test-btowc.c (main): Add a test of the C locale, based on
tests/test-mbrtowc.c.
* tests/test-btowc3.sh: New file, based on tests/test-mbrtowc5.sh.
* modules/btowc-tests (Files): Add it.
(Makefile.am): Test it.
* doc/posix-functions/btowc.texi: Mention the two C locale behaviour
bugs and that they are worked around.
