mc crashes on exit when using C locale

Description

Starting mc with:
LANG=C mc
cases a crash when mc exits. No other LC_* variable was set.

The issue is in src/strutil.c module. With C locale, str_init_strings() fails to set str_cnv_not_convert variable leaving it with value -1 (INVALID_CONV). str_uninit_strings() passes str_cnv_not_convert blindly to g_iconv_close() which tries to dereference it.
Attached patch adds a check to str_uninit_strings() if str_cnv_not_convert value is valid.
