Rich Felker 029c622a89 fix output size handling for multi-unicode-char big5-hkscs characters
since this iconv implementation's output is stateless, it's necessary
to know before writing anything to the output buffer whether the
conversion of the current input character will fit.

previously we used a hard-coded table of the output size needed for
each supported output encoding, but failed to update the table when
adding support for conversion to jis-based encodings and again when
adding separate encoding identifiers for implicit-endianness utf-16/32
and ucs-2/4 variants, resulting in out-of-bound table reads and
incorrect size checks. no buffer overflow was possible, but the
affected characters could be converted incorrectly, and iconv could
potentially produce an incorrect return value as a result.

remove the hard-coded table, and instead perform the recursive iconv
conversion to a temporary buffer, measuring the output size and
transferring it to the actual output buffer only if the whole
converted result fits.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
