glibc 2.37 and earlier does not support wcslcpy, wcslcat, strlcpy, and strlcat.

Without implementing a more sophisticated detection, it is simpler to enable SDL's fallback functions for these often missing routines.

example of affected systems:

Linux Mint 21.3 and earlier
Debian 12 (bookworm) and earlier
Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic) and earlier
Fedora 37 and earlier
Zorin 17.3 and earlier

Also, updates README.md with some basic instructions.
