[issue44487] Regression

[Erik Faye-Lund]

New submission from Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite at gmail.com>:

This commit lead to a regression when using Meson on Windows to build the Mesa project:

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/4827483f47906fecee6b5d9097df2a69a293a85c

The reason is that pathlib.read_text now uses the locale as the encoding when reading files when there's no encoding explicitly passed in. That means that C++ source files are attempted read as CP1252 on Windows, which throws exceptions when source files contain UTF-8 code-points.
