Fixed bug 5022 - SDL_iconv_string can get stuck in an infinite loop when encountering invalid characters 

ciremo6483

In `SDL_iconv_string` the `while (inbytesleft > 0)` loop can end up in a state where it never terminates because the library `iconv` function called from `SDL_iconv` doesn't consume any bytes.

This happened when a `WCHAR_T` input string was being converted to `UTF-8` but contained invalid characters. It would first It would first skip a few bytes due to `case SDL_ICONV_EILSEQ` but when there were 3 bytes remaining of `inbytesleft` `iconv` just didn't consume anything more (but didn't throw an error either).

It just so happens that the Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse `product_string` contains such invalid characters (`"Microsoft? Classic IntelliMouse?"`), meaning the function would get stuck with said mouse plugged in.

A fix for this would be to check if `inbytesleft` was unchanged after an iteration and in that case either decrement the counter like when `SDL_ICONV_EILSEQ` is returned or simply break the loop.
