[BDS-3791] Unicode windows support

Windows uses utf-16, so C standard library to read stdio won't work for non-ASCII characters. Maybe it's better to replace it with ReadConsoleW function specifically for windows or place a notice in "how to" that windows computer must be using utf-8 locale specified in the control panel in order to pass unicode messages to /say command, etc.

Environment

Windows 10, standard en-US locale

This bug affects windows-running non-English servers.

For example if i was running Spanish server and wanted to inform players with "say" command, or if i wanted to give player an item with non-English name, but I can't do so.

Steps to reproduce are:

Launch server using cmd or powershell on windows.
Type "say перевірка" into server console window
On your server players will see message "?????????" instead
