configure.ac: define ICONV_OMITS_BOM if necessary

From commit 79444c9294, ("utf8: handle systems that don't write BOM for
UTF-16", 2019-02-12), we're supporting those systems with iconv that
omits BOM with:

    make ICONV_OMITS_BOM=Yes

However, configure script wasn't taught to detect those systems.

Teach configure to do so.
