GApplication: change commandline encoding policy
Clarify in the documentation that the commandline arguments passed around by GApplication (to local_command_line and returned via g_application_command_line_get_arguments()) are in the GLib filename encoding (ie: UTF-8) on Windows, not the system code page. Fix the mismatch that would result from having argv passed to g_application_run() in main() on Windows (where it is in the system code page) by ignoring argc/argv on Windows and calling g_win32_get_command_line() for ourselves. Document this. This might be a slight API break on Windows: we documented that it was possible to call g_application_run() with arguments other than argc/argv and now doing that will result in those arguments being ignored. It has always been recommended practice to only call g_application_run() from main() directly, however, and all of our code examples have shown only this. We will see if this causes any issues and consider reevaluating the situation if so. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722025
