iconv: Revert steps array reference counting changes
The changes introduce a memory leak for gconv steps arrays whose first element is an internal conversion, which has a fixed reference count which is not decremented. As a result, after the change in commit 50ce3eae5ba304650459d4441d7d246a7cefc26f, the steps array is never freed, resulting in an unbounded memory leak. This reverts commit 50ce3eae5ba304650459d4441d7d246a7cefc26f ("gconv: Check reference count in __gconv_release_cache [BZ #24677]") and commit 7e740ab2e7be7d83b75513aa406e0b10875f7f9c ("libio: Fix gconv-related memory leak [BZ #24583]"). It reintroduces bug 24583. (Bug 24677 was just a regression caused by the second commit.)
