utf8: handle systems that don't write BOM for UTF-16

When serializing UTF-16 (and UTF-32), there are three possible ways to
write the stream. One can write the data with a BOM in either big-endian
or little-endian format, or one can write the data without a BOM in
big-endian format.

Most systems' iconv implementations choose to write it with a BOM in
some endianness, since this is the most foolproof, and it is resistant
to misinterpretation on Windows, where UTF-16 and the little-endian
serialization are very common. For compatibility with Windows and to
avoid accidental misuse there, Git always wants to write UTF-16 with a
BOM, and will refuse to read UTF-16 without it.

However, musl's iconv implementation writes UTF-16 without a BOM,
relying on the user to interpret it as big-endian. This causes t0028 and
the related functionality to fail, since Git won't read the file without
a BOM.

Add a Makefile and #define knob, ICONV_OMITS_BOM, that can be set if the
iconv implementation has this behavior. When set, Git will write a BOM
manually for UTF-16 and UTF-32 and then force the data to be written in
UTF-16BE or UTF-32BE. We choose big-endian behavior here because the
tests use the raw "UTF-16" encoding, which will be big-endian when the
implementation requires this knob to be set.

Update the tests to detect this case and write test data with an added
BOM if necessary. Always write the BOM in the tests in big-endian
format, since all iconv implementations that omit a BOM must use
big-endian serialization according to the Unicode standard.

Preserve the existing behavior for systems which do not have this knob
enabled, since they may use optimized implementations, including
defaulting to the native endianness, which may improve performance.
