[PATCH v3 1/2] include: Move typedefs in nls.h to their own header

[Nathan Chancellor]

In order to allow commonly included headers such as string.h to access
typedefs such as wchar_t without running into issues with the rest of
the NLS library, refactor the typedefs out into their own header that
can be included in a much safer manner.
