[issue43174] Windows: Use /utf-8 compiler flag

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

The new property should go into PCbuild/pyproject.props, but otherwise seems like an okay change.

It *will* cause any string literals (const char *) to be UTF-8, but they ought to all be ASCII anyway. It shouldn't affect resource files, because those have a code page override in the source files. (Potentially a "#pragma code_page(1252)" might make more sense for our build, but I'm not sure, and I'm just as happy to got to UTF-8 if it doesn't break anything.)
