Daniel Bertalan a2daed5817 Ports/gettext: Replace manually linking libintl with a libtool patch
The `gettext` port comprises of multiple libraries, however `libintl.so`
is the one most commonly used in external executables/libraries, so
porting the patches to this one is enough.

libtool: Enable shared library support for SerenityOS

For some odd reason, libtool handles the configuration for shared libraries entirely statically and in its configure script. If no shared library support is "present", building shared libraries is disabled entirely.

Fix that by just adding the appropriate configuration options for serenity. This allows us to finally create dynamic libraries automatically using libtool, without having to manually link the static library into a shared library.

This patch here is a bit more elaborate for other ports, as libintl's configure includes the code for detecting dynamic linker characteristics twice, and it also queries the C++ compiler for shared library support.
