dgettext() lives in libc on glibc and in libintl.so.8 on musl with
gettext. Resolve it via dlsym() so neither configuration produces a
hard link-time dependency on libintl: try libintl.so.8 first and fall
back to RTLD_DEFAULT (which finds dgettext in libc on glibc).
The _() macro now expands to a runtime check that returns the
untranslated string if dlopen_libintl() has not run successfully, so
callers don't have to gate every translatable message on a runtime
check. pam_systemd_home — currently the only consumer of _() — calls
dlopen_libintl() best-effort from each PAM entry point.
The meson find_library('intl') dance is replaced with a has_header()
check; the only thing we need at build time is the prototype.
