Add commandline conversion for Windows (no-op on other platforms)

- add Fl::args_to_utf8() to convert commandline arguments to UTF-8

This new function closes the gap that previously only Visual Studio
applications converted their commandlines to UTF-8.

Tested with MinGW, MSYS2/MinGW-w64, and Visual Studio (2019).
