Reproducer in C

The C function wcsxfrm() fails with errno=EINVAL for some characters on
non-Posix locales. See a reproducer in the attachment.

For example, for en_US.UTF-8 it is two characters, 'Å' (U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL
LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE) and 'Å' (U+212B ANGSTROM SIGN).

```
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ./wcsxfrm-test
U+00C5
U+212B
```

For ar_EG.UTF-8, el_GR.UTF-8, ja_JP.UTF-8 and ro_RO.UTF-8 the list is much
longer. You can get all bad characters on all locales by running:

```
$ for loc in `locale -a`; do LC_ALL=$loc ./wcsxfrm-test || echo === $loc; done
```
