[PATCH 1/1] configure.ac: Properly check for libintl

Some libc implementations like uclibc or musl provides gettext stubs via libintl library but this case is not checked by AC_CHECK_LIB(c, gettext ...) because gcc has gettext as builtin which passess the check.

So check it with included libintl.h where gettext may unfold into libintl_gettext which will cause check to fail if libintl_gettext are needed to be linked with -lintl.
