[WIP] Remove libintl dependency from some packages
The initial commit explains most of the situation. Basically remove unnecessary / useless libintl dependency from some musl packages, where possible. Starting with packages I use myself and can test, would appreciate testing from others as well.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/29240.patch is attached
