[issue23901] Force console stdout to use UTF8 on Windows

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore added the comment:

My proof-of-concept attempt to use _O_U8TEXT resulted in some very bizarre behaviour - odd buffering of the interactive interpreter output and what appear to be Chinese characters being displayed for normal (ASCII) interactions.

I suspect there is some oddity around how _O_U8TEXT works. The approach looks too fragile to pursue. I'll look further into the RawIOBase option.
