The module 'getlocalename_l-unsafe-limited' was supposed to be used only on
NetBSD and Solaris, because that's what strftime.c needed, so far.
With this patch, it can also be used on glibc, musl, macOS, FreeBSD, Haiku,
Cygwin, native Windows. The added dependencies are not large.
And similarly for the 'localename-unsafe-limited' module.
The added dependencies here: localename-environ, strdup, windows-mutex.
That's not a lot; especially not generic multithreading.

localename-unsafe-limited: Extend to more platforms.
* modules/localename-unsafe-limited (Description): Update platforms
list.
(Files): Add m4/intlmacosx.m4, m4/musl.m4.
(Depends-on): Add localename-environ, strdup, windows-mutex.
(configure.ac): Invoke gl_MUSL_LIBC.
(Link): Add $(INTL_MACOSX_LIBS).
* m4/localename.m4 (gl_LOCALENAME_UNSAFE): Don't require
gl_LOCALE_H_DEFAULTS.
(gl_LOCALENAME_UNSAFE_LIMITED): Require gt_INTL_MACOSX.
I think this may have triggered a build failure on
MacOSX 12.6 (cfarm112.cfarm.net), as I'm getting the following building
https://www.pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-9.7.321-dc30e.tar.xz
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_CFGetTypeID", referenced from:
_gl_locale_name_default in
libcoreutils.a(libcoreutils_a-localename-unsafe.o)
I see that INTL_MACOS_LIBS is set appropriately as
$ grep HAVE_CF lib/config.h
#define HAVE_CFLOCALECOPYPREFERREDLANGUAGES 1
#define HAVE_CFPREFERENCESCOPYAPPVALUE 1
So I'm guessing those LIBS might not be added there is no libintl.h and:
configure:96915: checking whether to use NLS
configure:96917: result: no
