Set boost::filesystem locale to UTF-8 at start of program, independent of operating system. This wiil allows for unicode chars in file and directory names in Windows.

Attempt at fixing #3916.

Just seeing what the pulltester will do.

Testing is welcome, but do not merge. This is frought with edge cases and I'm not sure this is the best solution.

Closing this; paths need to stay in the local character encoding, as we use all kinds of file/directory manipulation functions in a mixed way.
