darwin.stdenv: avoid an infinite recursion

libiconv-darwin depends on Meson, which (indirectly) depends on
libiconv. When libiconv-darwin is set as libiconv, it will cause an
infinite recursion. Avoid the infinite recursion by using libiconvReal
in stage 1. Every stage after that can use libiconv-darwin.
