-Remove support for loadable gconv transliteration modules.
-The support for transliteration modules has been non-functional for
-over a decade, and the removal is prompted by security defects. The
-normal gconv conversion modules are still supported. Transliteration
-with //TRANSLIT is still possible, and the //IGNORE specifier
-continues to be supported. (CVE-2014-5119)

-Based on upstream commits a1a6a401ab0a3c9f15fb7eaebbdcee24192254e8
