> The {{WinErrorMessage}} utility function calls {{FormatMessageA}} in order to
> get the Windows error message. This unfortunately returns the message encoded
> using the current "codepage", which can give unreadable results if there are
> non-ASCII characters in it.
> Instead, we should probably use {{FormatMessageW}} and then convert to UTF-8.
> At least {{PyArrow}} expects the error message in a {{Status}} to be
> utf8-encoded.
