`fopen` and friends are really nasty sources of unportable code and encoding
issues on Windows.

I hope eventually we will change its signatures to not accept `char*` with our
usual deprecation process.

These functions work on POSIX systems and work-in-many-cases on Windows (read:
hard to debug) so the situation is too dangerous to continue ignoring it (how
about to count druntime/Phobos bugs because of misunderstanding of this issue?)
