[PATCH] Add !HAVE_MBRTOWC fallbacks for mbchar, mbiter and mbuiter

Hello, I'm adding multibyte character support to the info viewer using the mbiter and mbuiter modules. Those modules currently depend on mbrtowc () and friends. The mbs* functions in gnulib currently have two separate implementations of most algorithms, one for HAVE_MBRTOWC using mbchar, and one
