configure.ac: Default to --without-c-locale-coercion on Windows

lazka · lazka · commit 48584d05ba48 · 2022-04-24T18:56:37.000+02:00
--with-c-locale-coercion otherwise defaults to yes and enables code that isn't compatible on Windows, mainly because the feature is Unix related. Default to "no" on Windows instead. Fixes python#36
