#11368: Pidgin installer for win32 should include iconv.dll

As of glib 2.12, GTK/Glib doesn't depend on iconv.dll anymore.
However, Pidgin's libxml2.dll depends on this dll. Currently the Windows
Pidgin distribution expects that iconv.dll is present in the installed
GTK+. This behavior becomes problematic in case a third-party GTK+
distribution is installed. Since iconv.dll is not a GTK+ dependency, these
third-party distributions aren't required to bundle it anymore (it's
unreasonable to assume that they will contain every dll they ever included
forever).
Solution: iconv.dll should be included in Pidgin itself.
