Refer to C23 in place of C2X in glibc
WG14 decided to use the name C23 as the informal name of the next
revision of the C standard (notwithstanding the publication date in
2024).  Update references to C2X in glibc to use the C23 name.

This is intended to update everything *except* where it involves
renaming files (the changes involving renaming tests are intended to
be done separately).  In the case of the _ISOC2X_SOURCE feature test
macro - the only user-visible interface involved - support for that
macro is kept for backwards compatibility, while adding
_ISOC23_SOURCE.

Tested for x86_64.

+* The GNU C Library now supports a feature test macro _ISOC23_SOURCE to
+  enable features from the ISO C23 standard.  Only some features from
+  this standard are supported by the GNU C Library.  The older name
+  _ISOC2X_SOURCE is still supported.  Features from C23 are also enabled
