On s390x when compiling with GCC 12, I get this warning:
utf8-utf16-z9.c:
../iconv/loop.c: In function ‘__from_utf8_loop_etf3eh_single’:
../iconv/loop.c:445:22: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]

This patch tells the compiler that inend is always behind inptr which
avoids the warning. Note that the SINGLE function is only used to
implement the mb*towc*() or wc*tomb*() functions. Those functions use
inptr and inend pointing to a variable on stack, compute the inend pointer
or explicitly check the arguments which always leads to inptr < inend.
Special notes for backporters (according to Siddhesh Poyarekar):
If someone wants to backport this patch to release branches, they should
also backport the following wcrtomb change. Otherwise the assumptions
assumed by this patch are not true.
