Windows: Embed an application manifest in the EXE files

IMPORTANT: This includes a security fix to command line tool
           argument handling.

Some toolchains embed an application manifest by default to declare
UAC-compliance. Some also declare compatibility with Vista/8/8.1/10/11
to let the app access features newer than those of Vista.

We want all the above but also two more things:

  - Declare that the app is long path aware to support paths longer
    than 259 characters (this may also require a registry change).

  - Force the code page to UTF-8. This allows the command line tools
    to access files whose names contain characters that don't exist
    in the current legacy code page (except unpaired surrogates).
    The UTF-8 code page also fixes security issues in command line
    argument handling which can be exploited with malicious filenames.

Thanks to Orange Tsai and splitline from DEVCORE Research Team
for discovering this issue.

Thanks to Vijay Sarvepalli for reporting the issue to me.

Thanks to Kelvin Lee for testing with MSVC and helping with
the required build system fixes.

+# When used with MSVC, CMake can merge .manifest files with
+# linker-generated manifests and embed the result in an executable.
+# However, when paired with MinGW-w64, CMake (3.30) ignores .manifest
+# files. Embedding a manifest with a resource file works with both
+# toochains. It's also the way to do it with Autotools.

+# With MSVC, we need to disable the default manifest; attempting to add
+# two manifest entries would break the build. The flag /MANIFEST:NO
+# goes to the linker and it also affects behavior of CMake itself: it
+# looks what flags are being passed to the linker and when CMake sees
+# the /MANIFEST:NO option, other manifest-related linker flags are
+# no longer added (see the file Source/cmcmd.cxx in CMake).
