Remove unnecessary locking when reading iconv configuration [BZ #22062]

In iconv/gconv_conf.c, __gconv_get_path unnecessarily obtains a lock when
populating the array pointed to by __gconv_path_elem. The locking is not
necessary because all calls to __gconv_read_conf (which in turn calls
__gconv_get_path) are serialized using __libc_once.

This patch:
- removes all locking in __gconv_get_path;
- replaces all explicitly serialized __gconv_read_conf calls with calls to
  __gconv_load_conf, a new wrapper that is serialized internally;
- adds a new test, iconv/tst-iconv_mt.c, to exercise iconv initialization,
  usage, and cleanup in a multi-threaded program;
- indents __gconv_get_path correctly, removing tab characters (which makes
  the patch look a little bigger than it really is).

After removing the unnecessary locking, it was confirmed that the test case
fails if the relevant __libc_once is removed. Additionally, four localedata
and iconvdata tests also fail. This gives confidence that the testsuite
sufficiently guards against some regressions relating to multi-threading
with iconv.

Tested on x86_64 and i686.
