meson: simplify iconv-emits-BOM check

Simplify the iconv-emits-BOM check that we have in Meson a bit by:

  - Dropping useless variables.

  - Casting the `inpos` pointer to `void *` instead of using a typedef
    that depends on whether or not we use an old iconv library.

This overall condenses the code signficantly and makes it easier to
follow.
