    iconv: Remove alloca use in gconv-modules configuration parsing
    
    The alloca sizes ought to be constrained to PATH_MAX, but replace them
    with dynamic allocation to be safe.  A static PATH_MAX array would
    have worked too but Hurd does not have PATH_MAX and the code path is
    not hot enough to micro-optimise this allocation.  Revisit if any of
    those realities change.
