toolchain: add option to copy the gconv libraries

The gconv libraries are used to translate between different character sets
('charsets', even 'csets' sometimes). Some packages need them to present
text to the user (eg. XBMC Gotham).

In (e)glibc they are implemented by the internal implemenation of iconv,
called gconv, and are provided as dlopen-able libraries.

Note that some gconv modules need extra libraries (shared by more than
one gconv module), so we must, when adding a subset of modules, scan the
installed modules in search of the missing libraries.

[Thomas: add general explanation in expunge-gconv-modules and fix
coding style.]

+# This script is used to generate a gconv-modules file that takes into

+
+# The format of gconv-modules is precisely documented in the

+#   alias   ALIAS  REALNAME

+# There are two kinds of 'module' directives:
+#   - the first defines conversion of a charset to/from INTERNAL representation
+#   - the second defines conversion of a charset to/from another charset
+# we handle each with slightly different code, since the second never has
