[issue38743] configure: on macOS (darwin) add CoreFoundation to flags before checking for gettext

[Jakub Piotr Cłapa]

New submission from Jakub Piotr Cłapa :

macOS needs to link to CoreFoundation for gettext to work. We reorder the 
autoconf tests so CoreFoundation is added to LIBS earlier and the -lintl test 
does not fail (which would exclude it from the final set of flags).

Btw. the whole test seems fishy: if compilation fails it does not mean -lintl 
is not needed, for this we would need to test a gettext function without 
-lintl. Basically two tests (with and without -lintl) are needed to properly 
diagnose the situation. The test in question had been written in 2009 as a fix 
for the https://bugs.python.org/issue6154 bug report.

This may be an issue only with non-Framework builds (since Homebrew manages to 
build a framework-based Python on macOS without any special shenigans) but I 
had not tested it.
