new module 'libunistring'

[Bruno Haible]

Now that libunistring is released, I'm adding to gnulib a module that
prepares for using it as a (possibly shared) library.

dnl gl_LIBUNISTRING
dnl Searches for an installed libunistring.
dnl If found, it sets and AC_SUBSTs HAVE_LIBUNISTRING=yes and the LIBUNISTRING
dnl and LTLIBUNISTRING variables and augments the CPPFLAGS variable, and
dnl #defines HAVE_LIBUNISTRING to 1. Otherwise, it sets and AC_SUBSTs
dnl HAVE_LIBUNISTRING=no and LIBUNINSTRING and LTLIBUNISTRING to empty.
