Here is revisited patch. Major vhanges from previous version:
- Use MLang API for converting page name to page id.
- All Windows stuff moved to separate file win32_xlate.c.

[[[
Remove APR ICONV dependency on Windows and use native Windows
character conversion API (MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte).

* subversion/tests/libsvn_subr/utf-test.c
  (test_utf_cstring_to_utf8_ex2): New test for conversion from
different codepages
  to utf8.
  (test_utf_cstring_from_utf8_ex2): New test for conversion to
different codepages
  from utf8.
  (test_funcs): Add two tests.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/utf8.c
  (get_xlate_handle_node): Use svn_subr__win32_xlate_open() on Windows.
  (convert_to_stringbuf): Use svn_subr__win32_convert_to_stringbuf() on Windows.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.c
* subversion/libsvn_subr/win32_xlate.h
  (win32_xlate_t): Structure for holding Windows xlate data.
  (get_page_id_from_name): Helper for converting page name to page identifier.
  (svn_subr__win32_xlate_open): Opens Windows xlate to convert one codepage to
  another.
  (svn_subr__win32_convert_to_string_buf): Converts string from one codepage to
  another using Windows API.
