rB87b19b3aba0c: Fix: BLI_getenv returns ascii not UTF8 on windows
Summary

T74510 seems to be turning into a jumble of various encoding
related issues, this is one of them.

This specific patch fixes the incorrect behaviour of BLI_getenv returning ascii on windows rather than utf-8 resulting in problems when using the BLENDER_USER_CONFIG environment variable to point to a path with non ascii characters.

all tests pass on windows, given all code is in a windows only guard no testing should be needed on other platforms.

Seems like we both missed the memleak here, if the buffer was valid, but didn't fit in the static buffer, unlikely to happen, but still sloppy. fixed in rB0dbbcaf1e6bb
