[PATCH 1/2] mingw: get pw_name in UTF-8 format

From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2019-06-27 09:37:21
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted>

Previously, we would have obtained the user name encoded in whatever the
current code page is.

Note: the "user name" here does not denote the full name but instead the
short logon name.
