[tlbuild] Broken TL build

[Mojca Miklavec]

Karl,

Two ICU patches for Solaris have been accepted upstream in the last
few days, so they can be removed the next time when ICU gets updated.
I'm trying to go through the remaining ICU patches in TL sources again.

This change in the patch probably never made any sense, right?
(__TOS_MVS__ stands for z/OS, so it cannot be both this one and
Solaris)
https://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Build/source/libs/icu/TLpatches/patch-14-xopen?r1=43492&r2=46290

I would also remove the patch for the ancient gcc 4.2 for 32-bit Mac
OS X (patch-20-private) and patch-10-ES.

I have the required changes ready on my computer and I'll commit them
unless you object, but I would prefer to see dvisvgm upgraded first.
(If Solaris builds are broken anyway, I won't really be able to verify
that I didn't break anything in addition to that.)
