all: use more consistent blank character determination

* src/system.h (c32issep): A new function that is essentially
iswblank() on GLIBC platforms, and iswspace() with exceptions elsewhere.
* src/expand.c: Use it instead of c32isblank().
* src/fold.c: Likewise.
* src/join.c: Likewise.
* src/numfmt.c: Likewise.
* src/unexpand.c: Likewise.
* src/uniq.c: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
