As promised in #2970, this attempts to migrate code to a common set of
utilities in a common place in the code and use them everywhere. This
also exports the functionality, since the Windows API with
WideCharToMultiByte is fairly verbose relative to what libuv and
libuv's clients typically need, so it is useful not to require clients
to reimplement this conversion logic unnecessarily (and because Windows
is not 64-bit ready here, but this implementation is.)
Encode domain names before passing them on to the libc resolver.
Some getaddrinfo() implementations support IDNA 2008, some only
IDNA 2003 and some don't support i18n domain names at all.
This is a potential security issue because it means a domain name
might resolve differently depending on the system that libuv is
running on.
