The printf family of functions do not properly display UTF8 strings well on Windows. Use the appropriate wide character API instead if stderr is a tty.

Fixes: #3284

This isn't complete yet, I think? There are a lot of (f)printf statements strewn throughout the code base.

@evanlucas That has to do with program arguments, but the string values are not from user input such that they could contain utf8.

@bnoordhuis Well, of the other printf()/fprintf() instances I could find, the string variables did not seem likely to contain utf8. If you had some specifically in mind, let me know.

CI is fine except the random ARM failures. I can confirm it fixes #3284.

I'm kind of surprised this works, I thought vsnprintf() on Windows returned -1 when the output buffer is too small.

I tested it on Windows 7 with VS2013 at least. I suppose _vscprintf() could be used instead...

I'm going to defer to @nodejs/platform-windows.

The printf family of functions do not properly display UTF8
strings well on Windows. Use the appropriate wide character
API instead if stderr is a tty.

Final CI run after changing vsnprintf()->_vscprintf(): https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit/830/

Only failures are an unrelated failure on Win10 and a recurring unrelated failure on FreeBSD 10.1 64-bit.

@nodejs/lts ... should we land this one in v4.x?

after looking at #3284 I would vote yes for this one, if this were just a "make it proper" fix then I'd be borderline but given this is fixing an actual user-reported bug it's much easier to justify because it's not academic
