Current GCC mainline produces -Wstringop-overflow errors building some
iconv converters, as discussed at
<https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-July/236943.html>.  Add an
__builtin_unreachable call as suggested so that GCC can see the case
that would involve a buffer overflow is unreachable; because the
unreachability depends on valid conversion state being passed into the
function from previous conversion steps, it's not something the
compiler can reasonably deduce on its own.

Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that, together with
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-August/130244.html>,
it restores the glibc build for powerpc-linux-gnu.

Ok.
