I initially thought wchar_t was locale independent, but this seems to be
only the case on Linux. This means that we cannot depend on the *wc*()
routines to implement *c16*() and *c32*(). Instead, use the Citrus
libiconv that is part of libc.
I'll see if there is anything I can do to make the existing functions
somewhat useful in case the system is built without libiconv in the
nearby future. If not, I'll simply remove the broken implementations.

The <uchar.h> header, part of C11, adds a small number of utility
functions for 16/32-bit "universal" characters, which may or may not be
UTF-16/32. As our wchar_t is already ISO 10646, simply add light-weight
wrappers around wcrtomb() and mbrtowc().
While there, also add (non-yet-standard) _l functions, similar to the
ones we already have for the other locale-dependent functions.

Update README to describe the new protocol. The work's broken down into
two main sets of changes.
First, update the existing test programs (shell scripts and C programs)
to produce output in the ok/not ok format, and to, where possible, also
produce a header describing the number of tests that are expected to be
run.
Second, provide the .t files that actually run the tests. In some cases
these are copies of, or very similar too, scripts that already existed.
I've kept the old scripts around so that it's possible to verify that
behaviour under this new system (in terms of whether or not a test fails)
is identical to the behaviour under the old system.
Add a TODO file.
the value of the supplied wide character is ignored and L'\0' is used
instead. Remove incorrect comments about "internal buffer" since wcrtomb()
does not have one (wctomb() does).
