OK.

As far as I can tell, the existence of a separate fgetwc_unlocked in
musl is just a historical accident due to its use in implementing
fgetws. It goes back to the initial git check-in and I didn't try to
dig up any older history.
In any case, trying to improve performance of these functions is
orthogonal to exposing declarations for them, so if done at all it
should be a separate commit. But I'd really like to avoid adding
"junk" functions where aliases already work, and get rid of some we
already have.
